Printed 3-heart form B&BC in German, on laid paper, is infilled with red ink for Anna Bofenmeyer/Bosenmeyer, born 29 May 1805 in Warwick Twp. and baptized by Emanuel Schultz. Sponsors were Peter and Anna Miller. Parents were David Bofenmeyer/Bosenmeyer and wife Magdalena nee Conrad. This main text within large central heart has title "Tauf = Schein". Below main text is added: "Ich bin confermiert und das erste was zum Abendmahl gegangen." (I was confirmed and went to Holy Communion for the first time 26 May 1821). Below this text is a tailpiece of birds with spreading wings and below this is the imprint "EPHRATA: Gedruckt bey / Samuel Baumann." Two small hearts flank tip of large heart, with religious verse. Borders printed with 3 large sprays of flowers at top. Center of sides is rose blossom at left and 2 billing birds at right. At lower corners are birds perching on branch growing out of the small hearts. Running stagsat very bottom corners and two large leaves at bottom center. Strong, dark-printed border line at bottom supports stags and 2 leaves.
Klaus Stopp writes in B&BCs of the German Americans, on p. 216 of Vol. 2, that this paper carries a watermark of "B & JB" and a flying bird indicating Benjamin and Joseph B, sons of papermaker Christian Baumann (1755-1815). Clarence Spohn has evidence that these 2 sons rented the Ephrara papermill from 1816-1819. Since Samuel Baumann sold his business in 1816, this printed edition had to have been made in this year. Stopp numbers this B&BC edition #276 (p. 216) and lists among the examples, this Bofenmeyer fraktur.
Infill in Warwick Twp., unknown; Printed in Ephrata by Samuel Baumann.
Large, heavy liquid stains over most of surface. Fold lines are breaking or broken with holes and tears in numerous places, esp. the left half. Very ragged and folded over edges. Paper has high rag content and is very pliable.
