Catalogue Note: The present example is part of a larger grouping of fraktur drawings executed in the style of the Record Book Artist. It is thought that the original artist moves on and someone else takes over the fraktur drawing in the same style when families require additions to their family record book. Additional examples of the Record Book Artist's work are represented in the collections of the American Folk Art Museum, New York City; the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Center, Williamsburg, VA; the Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, MI; and the National Archives, Washington, DC.
