Indians and the presence of the log cabin. Pointedly, the anachronistic Plains Indians headdresses depicted in her 1914 painting were not repeated when Brownscombe recreated the First Thanksgiving scene in her 1925 painting “Thanksgiving at Plymouth.” She made a painting of the landing at Plymouth Rock about 1920 entitled Landing of the Pilgrims with a woman of "Botticelli quality" as the central figure in a pyramid shaped composition. According to author and historian John D. Seelye, "Hers is a tender presence guarded by the advancing figures of Miles Standish with pikestaff and sword and a Pilgrim (probably John Carver) with a blunderbuss, but it reminds us that by the tercentenary year women in America were gathering political strength." Portraits In the 1920s she made portraits of federal Circuit Court of Appeals judges, Rutgers University trustee William Hopkins Leupp and Flushing Hospital physician and distant relative Dr. Charles Story. Brownscombe created illustrations for Harpers Weekly, Scribner and Pauline Bouvé's Tales of the Mayflower Children, which was published in 1927. Later years She completed Children Playing in the Orchard for Lincoln School in Honesdale in 1932 after having a stroke. Brownscombe painted until 1934 when she was 84 years of age. She died August 5, 1936 in Bayside, New York and was buried in the Glen Dyberry Cemetery in Honesdale next to her parents. She had never married or had any children. Legacy Her works continued to be sold successfully in the United States and Europe during the Great Depression. In 1982, she was among the "Legendary Ladies" of the Northeast Mountains Region, a program sponsored by Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell. The women included in this group are described as follows: "Throughout the commonwealth, there are hundreds of places where women have made history--women who have fought against stereotypes, prejudice and an abundance of obstacles, becoming a part of Pennsylvania's heritage." The Wayne County Historical Society in Honesdale, Pennsylvania held a retrospective exhibit of her works in 1996. In early 2011 a solo exhibition of her work was held at the Hope Horn Gallery in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Some of the paintings from the exhibit came from the collection of the Wayne County Historical Society, Pennsylvania. On loan from the Pilgrim Hall was The First Thanksgiving and the National Museum of Women in the Arts loaned Love's Young Dream. Collections Brownscombe's works are in the collections of: Cornell Fine Arts Museum, Rollins College,
