EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Birth and Baptismal Certificate (Geburts und Taufschein) for Maria Catharina Raup, dating back to around 1806. Created by an anonymous American School artist from the 19th century, this exquisite piece measures 31.3x39.3 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia. The artwork features intricate pen and ink drawings with watercolor accents on paper. The decorative elements include delicate floral motifs, hand-drawn birds, rosettes, foliage patterns, and ornamental designs that surround the central text. The calligraphy displays a stylized script inscription documenting Maria's birth and baptism details. The certificate itself serves as both an announcement of her arrival into the world and a record of her religious initiation through baptism. It reflects the German heritage of Maria's family through its use of traditional motifs commonly found in such documents during that era. Hand-colored with great attention to detail, this illustrated manuscript radiates charm and elegance. Its border is adorned with heart-shaped decorations while maintaining an overall symmetrical composition. This remarkable piece not only captures the beauty of artistic craftsmanship but also provides insight into historical practices surrounding birth certificates in early America. It stands as a testament to both personal milestones and cultural traditions passed down through generations.
