The Anne S. K. Brown Collection (1 Viewer)

The thumbnails are viewable, but "view image" doesn't always work well. Downloading an image takes up to 30 seconds as the file is huge! A great on-line resource for military images!


"This ambitious multi-year endeavor will digitize the 15,000 individual prints, drawings, and watercolors from The Anne S. K. Brown Military Collection. The artwork vividly documents all aspects of military and naval history, with emphasis on the history and illustration of world military and naval uniforms from the 17th century to the present. In addition to the material on military and naval dress, this digital collection includes portraiture, caricatures, wartime posters, original photographs, and graphics on military and naval history in general, campaigns and battles, the arts and tactics of warfare, drills and regulations. There is a vast amount of material pertaining to military decorations and insignia, heraldic ornaments, armor, weaponry, equitation, flags, knightly orders, court and ceremonial dress, architecture, and the general history of costume."

Scott--a great resource-thank you.
I just tried a search on uniforms and came up with over 4000 pictures. Here is one I downloaded by Richard Simkin. There are over 300 by Simkin a famous uniform illustrator.

Easier than going to Providence Rhode Island. I went their 25+ years ago. This way is better as you can browse.

I have seen the collection including the 6000 toy soldiers housed in the Brown University Library.
One of my friend's sons went to the University and got me a private tour.
Really amazing collection!
If you are ever in the area call for an appointment or tour.

I hope they solved the lead rot I saw many years ago.
