Journal, 1844-1890.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122610590

The journal, started in 1850, begins with a brief sketch of Brown's life until the year 1844 when he began keeping a diary, and continues with a summary of the contents of the diary he kept from 1844 to 1850, but discontinued because it became too detailed. The new entries commence in 1850 and include personal and business information, including an account of his painting of Abraham Lincoln's portrait before the presidential election of 1860. The journal also contains a record of every miniature painted by Brown from 1839 to 1890, including the sitter's name and residence, place of painting, and price; genealogical information; and clippings of newspaper notices about Brown and his work.

1 v. (ca. 150 p.) ; 32 cm.
