Légende

'New-York Bay, from Greenwood Cemetery', 1874. View of the cemetery with ships in the distance, Brooklyn, New York State, USA. 'Within the precincts of Brooklyn, on what were once called Gowanus Heights, is Greenwood, the handsomest cemetery, probably, in the world. It is over four hundred acres in extent, beautiful, undulating, covered with ancient trees of many kinds, and varied with several lakes - a very rural paradise in its natural attractions, while art and pious devotion have graced it with many noble monuments'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1874]
