Lot Essay


An example of one of Reverend Henry Young’s favorite compositions, this piece can be categorized as style 11: man and woman with flowers. This piece includes many other trademarks of Young’s style including script written in English, eight-pointed stars, pink roses and the use of color (Russel D. and Corrine P. Earnest, Papers for Birth Dayes: Guide to Fraktur Artists and Scriveners, Volume II (York, Pennsylvania, 1997), p. 826-833; the example offered here may be listed on p. 831).
