2010.538.12: Winter on Fifth Avenue
PhotographsA black-and-white photograph depicts a figure atop a horse and carriage during a snowstorm. The horse and carriage are the main focal point and pedestrians walking along the sidewalks. Snow covers the avenue and impressions of wheels are left behind in the snow. Buildings in the distance are blurry due to the snow falling while the photograph was captured. The sky looks cloudy and overcast.
