(New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1881), first edition. They accompanied a letter of January 1, 1862, sent by Sanford Robinson Gifford from the Tenth Street Studio building in New York to the artist William Mason Brown (1828-98). As indicated in the letter, Gifford had recently visited Brown in Troy, New York, the latter's hometown.
