The following is from Darwin D Bearley, Akron, Ohio:
Ferdinand A. Brader, an untrained, itinerant, artist, known for his large, detailed, birdseye view, pencil drawings of farms and other dwellings was born in Switzerland in 1833. He migrated to the US and Pennsylvania in the early 1870s.
Most of his drawings are quite large; some measuring 50" X 36" and were done using graphite pencil. In 1890 he began incorporating colored pencil into his pictures. Most of his drawings were numb (showing 500 of 1604 characters). |
