Before cameras ...

Does anyone have access to drawings/sketches/paintings of farms, people, etc. that were made before people had cameras? Someone asked me if I knew where these "pictures" could be found.

I doubt there is an actual collection. There is an "Older map and drawing collection", but it appears to mostly have random blueprints of military buildings and drawings of uniforms.

Thanks. I remember at one time seeing a pen sketch of a farm with the house and outbuildings, but haven't run across anything similar.
