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.
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.
