Otherwise in fine condition. Brown (1881-1966), an artist for The
Saturday Evening Post, wasa school drop-out who got his start in
drawing by selling his sketches to newspapers while working on a steamer. He got
a job drawing at The Saturday Evening Post after tagging along with a
friend who was covering a circus for the magazine. Brown worked for The
Saturday Evening Post for 40 years, with his pencils appearing in most
issues starting in the late 1910's. He also drew story art for other
magazines and book art for books, as well as drawing patriotic posters during
World War I.
