====================================

Search continues for Brader's drawings

With meticulous care, Ferdinand Brader identified the owners and township of each property he visited and used a sequential numbering and dating system which helps scholars date the drawings. Research is underway to catalog the drawings as more examples of his work become known. Currently only a fraction of the estimated 980 total landscape portraits have been cataloged. We need your help to identify the drawings and trace Brader's path through Pennsylvania and Ohio.

This list of identified landscape drawings has been prepared with gratitude to all the collectors who so generously share images of their drawings and tell us the stories behind them. Remembering that at the beginning of this project the number of listed drawings was 122, just look at what we have done together.

CURRENT TOTAL ..... 233
