A rather scarce piece concerning the early layout and monuments of Green-Wood Cemetery, a rural cemetery in Brooklyn that was constructed in 1838. The cemetery was and remains known for its greenery, rolling hills, and wide assortment of highly detailed individual monuments to many graves. A great piece for minor restoration.
