The Green-Wood Cemetery

<p>Walking through a cemetery for fun may sound strange to some, but for those of us who are interested in lettering it’s like going to a museum. Green-Wood Cemetery, which dates back to 1838, is a beautiful greenspace in Brooklyn that is home to many New York luminaries such as DeWitt Clinton, Louis Comfort Tiffany, “Boss” Tweed, Samuel Morse, Leonard Bernstein, and of course, Peter Cooper. Additionally, it&#x27;s home to some of the best stone carving and inscriptional lettering in the city. On this walk we will focus on finding 18th &amp; 19th century ornamented lettering, but we will uncover just about every typographic style you can think of on the tombstones and mausoleums within this national historic site.
