HAMMER TIME, Evergreens Cemetery

Forgotten New York -

Here’s a huge bronze trumpeting angel in Bushwick’s Evergreens Cemetery at the memorial of Bernhard Hammer (1836-1905) and other family members. The Latin inscription on the crest, Malleum incude malim, can be translated as “I would rather be the hammer than the anvil.” 11/13/14
