In honor of #AmericanArchivesMonth, LancasterHistory is spotlighting local artists featured in our Fine Arts Collection. Among them is John Henry Brown (1818-1891), who hailed from Lancaster. At the age of 21, he established his own business in the county and taught himself the art of painting miniature portraits. His work was initially inspired by daguerreotypes and later evolved to include ambrotypes.
