Fraktur family record of Amish family of Stephen and Hannah Miller Mast and ten children, done with ink and paint on heavy white paper in oak frame. Executed in the style of scrivener David C. Hoke by Old Order Amish Bishop John F. Glick (1912-Aug 30, 2003).
A contemporary scrivener who learned his craft by copying David Hoke, Glick records the family of his great grandmother Mary Mast (1832-1924). Fraktur has a wavy ribbon border with flowers at top and bottom. Heading at top is "Family Record" and 1/3 of the way down is "Children," both done in heavy red lettering with silver highlights. Three heads of wheat flank each side of "Children."
Parents' birth dates and marriage date are recorded, followed by ten children with birth dates. The sixth child, Mary, is underlined to indicate her significance as Glick's great grandmother. All 12 family members have a death date written in cursive under their birth date, mimicking a common practice of descendants who added this information years later.
At bottom center, Glick draws a scroll and pen and inscribes his name and the date (1997). At right he adds: "Mary Mast was my great grandmother."
Framed in a new oak frame with glazing, made by Glick's son, a woodworker, who has a woodshop on the Glick farm property, Cut Road, Salisbury Twp.
Group of three fraktur (P97.22.1-.3) was commissioned and purchased from Glick by HCLC as a result of visiting him in his farmhouse Jan 1997 to discuss his penwork. (The two other fraktur, based on the Stoltzfus family record, were specifically purchased for use in the 1997 Exhibit on fraktur.)
