It was formed over a period of forty years by the late Mrs. John Nicholas Brown (1906-1985) of Providence and is still growing. It contains approximately 12,000 printed books, 18,000 albums, sketchbooks, scrapbooks and portfolios, (containing thousands of prints and drawings), and over 13,000 individual prints, drawings and water-colors as well as a collection of 5,000 miniature lead soldiers. Formerly in the Brown family residence (the Nightingale-Brown House, 1791), the entire collection (which was probably the largest private military collection in the world), was presented to Brown University and transferred to Special Collections located in the John Hay Library in 1982. <BR/>----------------<BR/>valrossie<BR/><A HREF="http://www.gov-auctions.org" REL="nofollow"> auto auctions</A>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670946669970160711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33073529.post-23667969936978616412007-03-24T07:18:00.000-05:002007-03-24T07:18:00.000-05:00No, sure didn't.I would like to do an article on t...No, sure didn't.<BR/><BR/>I would like to do an article on the Meigs that you have listed for the June sale.<BR/><BR/>If you have some history and more images, I would appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>JRJohn Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09376217483411918789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33073529.post-31673055228394030052007-03-24T01:48:00.000-05:002007-03-24T01:48:00.000-05:00So...did you win anything?
