Abraham Latshaw, bookplate for Isaac Eby, 1823 (Waterloo)

Abraham Latshaw, bookplate for Isaac Eby, 1823 (Waterloo)

Incorporation of leaves resembling pea-pods and yellow-and-red tulips to embellish a central text establishes this bookplate as the work of Latschaw. The use of broken lines within the text and the device of framing the text between crescents suggests a stylistic background common with that of Pennsylvania Fraktur artist Samuel Gottschall.

Barn near completion with cows in foreground

Barn near completion with cows in foreground

Barn near completion with cows in foreground. Corresponding section of the Brubacher House script reads: "Now we see the almost completed barn. The work which began at 8:00 a.m. is finished by 4:30 in the afternoon. A total of more than 150 man days of labour provided in one day at no cost to the farmer. After the main structure is completed, much still remains to be done. Some neighbours will bring hay, straw and feed grain, others will provide money to help the farmer get back on his feet. The Old Order Mennonites living north of here do not have insurance but they look after each other and their neighbours in the spirit of Christian Community. Through this form of mutual aid a great loss is turned into an opportunity to give, share and build community."
