EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Birth and Baptismal Certificate (Geburts und Taufschein) for Johannes Kemp, beautifully illustrated by the talented Springing Deer Artist. Created around 1815, this pen and ink with watercolor on paper artwork measures 21x33.8 cm and is currently housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia. The certificate reveals that Johannes was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania, one year after the birth of Christ in 1811. His parents are Jacob Kemp and Magdalena. The document also highlights his baptism by Mister Pastor Ernst. The illustration itself is a true masterpiece, featuring intricate hand-drawn motifs such as wild animals, foliage patterns, rosettes, and hearts. The artist's attention to detail is evident through the delicate calligraphy used to write out important information about Johannes' birth and baptism. With its ornate borders and decorative elements, this certificate serves as both an official record of a child's birth and baptism while also being a work of art in its own right. The hand-colored accents add depth to the painting, making it visually stunning. This print offers viewers a glimpse into historical German traditions surrounding birth certificates during the early 19th century. It captures not only the significance of documenting life events but also showcases the artistic talent prevalent during that time period.
