Document source description
Head and shoulders portrait of a man with brown hair, wearing a black coat with high collar, white shirt and high white collar over sides of chin and white neckband.The sitter is probably David Paul Brown (1795-1872), a Philadelphia lawyer, poet, orator and playwright of both tragedies and farce. An obituary recorded that "From the early times of 'anti-slavery' and 'abolition' in Philadelphia, Mr. Brown was the steadfast friend, counselor, spokesman and orator for the anti-slavery party. He was their chivalrous champion upon nearly all occasions, important and unimportant, in court, on the rostrum and in the newspapers. It may be said with safety that he never failed to answer their call." (See "The Albany Law Journal," vol. 6, 1872, pp. 49-50).
