David Kulp served the community of Bucks County, Pennsylvania in several capacities, most notably as a scrivener. Developing his skills at an early age, Kulp studied under fraktur artist John Adam Eyer from 1782 to 1786. Kulp’s excellent penmanship quickly garnered attention and soon he developed a unique style exemplified by the present lot. This lot features his iconic, evenly spaced borders, slender leaves climbing up vines, circular reserves, typically full compositions and a preponderance of his favored colours, browns, blacks, reds and yellows.
