A SILHOUETTE STORY.
--O
RY A SEPTUAGENARIAN
ARTIST.
A Relic of a Curious and Almost For
gotten Art--Wonderful Picture of the
City Troop--The Old Man's Rovaini
scences of Distinguished Men.
^)om the Phuiadelphia Times.
In a large room on the ground
floor of the building 828 Walnut
street is now on exhibition a picture
of a kind not often seen in those
days. It is nearly forty foot long,
and represents the Philadelphia
City Troop, mounted, marching in
columns of fours. Every officer is
in his proper position, and all are
in full uniform. Including the two
buglars in front, there are seventy
two figures in the picture. In the
production of this curiosity no paint
was used, no photographer's in
struments or other machiner y
brought into requisition, but the
entire pageant-men, horses, uni
forms, arms, accoutrements and
flags-is cut out of paper of differ
ent appropriate colors with a pair
of small scissors. The faces of the
soldiers are not intended as like
nesses, but it is so arranged that a
photograph of each member's face
may be placed where it properly
belongs and so make the picture a
lasting memento of the present
membership for future generations
to look upon.
Mr. William H. Brown, the con
structor of this curious picture, is
a relic of the past generation, and a
representative of an art now almost
entirely lost or forgotten. He was
born in Charleston, S. U., in 1808.
His father was a well-known ner
chant of that city. His brother,
Alexander H. Brown, is one of the
oldest members of the South Caro,
lina bar.
HE TRIES FORTUNE HERE.
After having finished his educa..
tion at the Garrison Forest Acade
my, near Baltimore, Mr. Brown
came to this city and took a posi
tion with Gillingham Tevis & Co,
auction and commission merchants,
on Market street, in which firm his
brother-in-law, Pope Mitchell, was
at that time a partner. He married
here, and although he has wandered
much, he has ever since considered
Philadelphia his home. From his
earliest yeuri he showed a remnarka
ble facility in eutting out pictures.
In conversation with a Tnies rep
resentative the old man said:
"When I was searcely more than a
baby all my mother had to do to
keep me quiet was to give me a
piece of paper and a pair of
scissors." In school lhe was noted
for the caricatures of his associates
which he pr'oduced. Finally lhe
adopted silhouette portrait making
as a profession, traveling all over
the country, "cutting" friends and
strangers alike. He received sit-.
tings from all the most distinguish..
ed men of the day. He has a
scrap-book filled with compli
metr ress notices of his work.4
.a 1846 Mr. Brown publlished a
work, containing full-length silhou~
otto likenesses from originals, cut
by his own scissors, of John
Marshall, John Quincy Adams,
Richlard Channing Moore, Andrew
Jackson, John Forsyth, William
Henry Harrison, John C. Calhoun,
De Witt Clinton, Richard M. John
son, Joel Roberts Poinsett, Alexan
der Macomb, Martin Van Buron,
Samuel Lewis Southard, Henry
Clay, Henry A. Wise, Thomas H.
Benton, John Tyler, Levi Wood
bury, Thomas Cooper, Daniel Web
ster, Bishop White, Silas Wright,
Nathaniel P. Talmadge, Felix
Grundy, Dixon Hall Lewis and
John Randolph. The work con
tained a biographical sketch of each
in a letter press and a fac simnilA
autograph letter from each, many
of them addressed -to the author.
Mr. Calhoun's letter, written in a
delicate, lady-like hand, but bold
and clear withal, is as follows:
DEAn SIR: I take pleasure in
bearing testimony to your. great
aptitude in taking likenesses in
your way and the fidelity with
wvhih they are executed. I .wish
you great success in the work which
you are about to publish, and do
not doubt but that, you will make it
worthy of the pubilik patronage.
&c &oc . J.O. Oa*onx.
BILHOUETTE OF WASHINoTON.
The frontispiece of the work is
an original silhouette of George
Washington, which was given to
Mr. Brown by a lady of Browns
ville, in this State, in 1882, who had
received it from Washington's own
hand when a little child in Alex
andria, Virginia. This lady's son
was drowned, and after his body
was recovered Mr. Brown made a
likeness of him which the mother
prized so highly that she gave the
artist, who refused any pay, her
treasured picture of Washington.
Mr. Brown s book has become very
rare. The old man is poor and a
few weeks ago he took -ii 'ltst re
maining copy, consisting of only
loose leaves, and started out to sell
it. The first place he entered was
the book store of Messrs. Porter
& Coates. Without a moment's
hesitation those gentlemen bought
it, paying the author his own
1price, $15.
The old man loves to dwell on
reminiscences of the great men
whose pictures he made. "In
1863," he said, "I was in Washing
ton, and called on the President,
Andrew Jackson. I only saw him
about three minutes, but after I got
back to my room I made a portrait
of him from memory. I took it up
and showed it to him, and he was
so pleased with it that nothing
would do but I must take him on
horseback. So he had his horse
brought out and rode around the
ground to give me different views,
and sir," said he, with much pride,
"Major Donaldson now has that
picture at the 'Hermitage.' I made
my picture of Randolph on the day
he started from Norfolk, as Minister
to Russia, under appointment from
General Jackson. He stayed in
Russia only three day. He didn't
like the climate." The old man
wandered off into recollections of
the eccentric genius of Roanoke.
CALHOUN'S FUNERAL.
When Calhoun's funeral took
place in Charleston, Mr. Brown
was present, and at the solicitation
of the citizens of Charleston, who
furnished all the money ftecessary,
Mr. Brown undertook to make a
diorama of the scene. Recounting
this labor to the Times representa
tive he said: "It took me nine
months to do it. No one knows
how may boxes of tin I cut up. I
hired a man to paint the figures,
and every figure walked.
"I exhibited this diorama with
great success all through the
South," said Mr. Brown. "Then I
brought it to Philadelphin, but this
was a little too far North." One
night at the United States Hotel I
heard two men talking:
"'Going to see the diorama to
night?'
"'What diorama?'
'The funeral of Calhoun I'
"'Oh, d--n Calhouu,. he. ought
to have been dead five hundred
years ago.' 1 was at Natchez When
a fello* showed me the first daguir
recotype, which he said was taken
by a machine. 'A machine, a ma
chine,' I said ; now any fool can be
an artist, so I engaged as first clerk
on a Vicksburg and New Orleans
packet, and since then I have been
mostly steamboating and i-ailroad
ing. I ran for a.long time on the
Philadelphia and Erne road, , 4 bve
been here since July 4, Z8I l wJIpn
I came to see the Centenni .i
"I amn an old man, but you see my
right hand has not yet lost its
cunning," continued Mr. Bk-own,
bI'inging out front a drawer in~ his
table the fggre of a Black Hussar,
mounted upod a gailyseapar.isoned,
high-stepping horsa seveAl gray~
uniformed m~emnbers j4 the geciond
Regiment and a number of wvell
executed portygij of, yeIlh.jmfqwn
citizens. "In my old age I have
resumed the work of imy youth and
early manhood. Ydu would be
astonished to see the number of
visitors I have daily, whose piebutes
I take for a very small prnep and
detaining the subject only about
three minutes."
