His book illustrations appeared in editions of Booth Tarkington's works, and editions of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn;
Brehm died at age 44 in 1928 at Norwolk, Connecticut, where he had been a resident of Silvermine, an artists' colony, for fifteen years.
