The opening of John Augustus Roebling’s Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 was a technological achievement that amazed the world and redefined the iconography of New York with its distinctive Gothic arches. The bridge quickly became a marketing ploy for New York businesses such as the Royal Baking Powder Company. Now part of the Nabisco empire, Royal Baking Powder is still available today.
