1818 Alsatian folk art Taufschein with Pennsylvania-German ties chicken and egg motif

ref. 145237Bas-Rhin Alsace France 1818. Broadside approx. 10½ × 8¼ inches. Ink manuscript on laid paper with red ink and pencil illustrations; watermark visible. Folded with creases light soiling irregular trimming and minor edge wear not affecting text or decoration; very good. Offered with: One-page German manuscript on matching laid paper with identical watermark also dated 1818. Folded with creases and a small perforation not affecting text; very good. Curious and crudely executed folk art this 1818 German-language taufschein baptismal certificate is decorated in ink and pencil. The text records the birth in “Diemringen” and baptism in “Rathsweiler” likely Ratzwiller a village near Diemringen in Bas-Rhin Alsace. Fitting the baptismal theme it features a chicken and egg motif symbolizing creation and new life. The opening lines in German transcription approximate read: “I’ve been baptized and registered The Book of Life includes me now My Father will love me eternally / And be merciful to His child / God surely knows me already for a long time / My name rests in His hand.” Alternating lines circles and triangles frame the text in an abstract border with the chicken and egg motif placed prominently at the top. Square blocks of color in each corner may suggest a picture frame or reference the brass bosses found on elaborately bound 18th- and 19th-century Bibles. Accompanying the taufschein is a one-page untranslated German manuscript written on matching laid paper with an identical watermark also dated 1818. Both items appear to have originated in Bas-Rhin and were acquired together from an estate in Lancaster County Pennsylvania—an area of early German-speaking settlement. The family may have emigrated from Alsace after the post-Napoleonic upheaval of 1815 when widespread political and economic instability spurred migration. The watermark on both sheets is of the “Vryheyt” “Freedom” type used in Holland and later copied in England Sweden and the United States; see Churchill’s Watermarks in Paper nos. 79–108. The full watermark—visible on the illustrated sheet—depicts a lion holding a stave within a crowned circle possibly encircled by the motto “Pro Patria Eiusque Libertate.” unknown
