There are some rough pencil sketches. Most drawings are signed, dated, and annotated. A few drawings have sketches on the cardboard backing and some include cloth swatches. Many files only hold one or two designs from an individual show, but there are some full sets of designs including the 1965 production of <span class=\"title\">Caucasian Chalk Circle</span> and the 1961 production of <span class=\"title\">Richard II</span>. The production date and theater company are listed when known.</p> <p>Correspondence is with Sir Tyrone Guthrie, founder of the Guthrie Theater and concerns Brown's designs for <span class=\"title\">Henry V</span> (1964), <span class=\"title\">Richard III</span> (1965), and <span class=\"title\">Harper's Ferry</span> (1965).</p>"}
