Valuable pictures by foreign and American masters . sain, American : 1859— 25—BROOKLYN BRIDGE IN WINTER Height, 32 inches; width, 25 inches All lower New York on a stormy winters day is sum-marized or epitomized in this picture of its first andmost famous bridge. The spectator is led out on thestructure and turned about to face Manhattan, late inthe afternoon but before the rush Brooklynward hasset in.
