Biographical History
Nothing is known of Harry G. Brown other than the suggestion given by the sketchbook that he was a student at Glasgow Provincial Training College in the early 1900s. Based on the fact that the sketchbook was found in the attic of a house in Carlisle, New York, he or some member of his family likely lived there at some time.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The Harry G. Brown Sketchbook consists of a bound volume containg sketches and cartoons in ink, colored pencil, possibly watercolor and pastels. There are also a poem about the ladies of England, and a song entitled "The Normal Call" with both music and words. Several of the drawings are colorful detailed montages of Edinburgh scenes — castles, the city's coat of arms, and so on — similar to what might appear on a souvenir postcard.
