Three price lists: one (and its duplicate) for art reproductions by the George P. Brown & Co., Beverly, Massachusetts, ca. 1924. They are entitled Brown's Famous Pictures for February, March and April and Brown's Famous Bible Pictures. The former was issued as a double-sided single sheet; the latter as a 6-page price list. All three items were laid in a Brown & Co. Catalog, HEH RB #603406. The two single-sheet price lists are illustrated with a single row of images across each side of the leaf. Below the title and images reproduction cards are listed for sale and grouped by categories, for example: Washington Pictures, Dickens Pictures, Lincoln Picture; Thanksgiving and Christmas Pictures. Brown's Famous Bible Pictures is illustrated with a single image on the first page. This publisher's price list also groups images by category: 'The Life of Christ'; 'Old Testament Pictures'; 'Christmas Pictures'; 'Easter Pictures'; 'Madonnas'; 'Miniature Bible Pictures'. An ink stamp indicated a price change. "May 1924" is written in ms., in pencil, on the first page of this list.
