Roebling RPI Reception newsclipping (photocopy), 1887

 File — Box: 30, Folder: 13

Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Please note, the scrapbooks were acquired with the rest of the Roebling family papers but we cannot say for sure they were created by Emily Warren Roebling. Each book is filled with newspaper clippings from before and during the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge but there is no indication of her hand on any of the pages in all three scrapbooks. We can only speculate the scrapbooks may have been created by her. Furthermore, there are only a couple of places in the entire collection that reveal her hand and in each instance EWR speaks only of her husband, Washington Augustus Roebling.
