What Winter Was in Brooklyn
I came across this illustration in the Brooklyn Eagle archives of Borough Hall during the Great Blizzard on 1899. This was the enormous, country-wide snowstorm that plunged the nation into unprecented cold and snow for several days. I find the drawing quite touching in its simplicity.

that's what the city is so desperately missing. I'm so serious.
Simplicity? Or snow?
I love the old Brooklyn Daily Eagle, this is a lovely picture. It reminded me - it being a winter picture - of the wonderful "Winter Scene in Brooklyn" (1820) by Francis Guy.
