About Camera Work: Winter - Fifth Avenue

Winter, Fifth Avenue is a black and white photograph taken by Alfred Stieglitz in 1893. The photograph was made at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Thirty-Fifth Street in New York City. It depicts a horse-drawn omnibus pushing through a fierce blizzard and is considered one of the most significant early works in Stieglitz's career and a landmark image in the history of American photography. The photograph became the centerpiece of Stieglitz's 1897 article "The Hand Camera—Its Present Importance," and was exhibited and published at least twenty-five times before 1900.
