Family Record - large ornate lithograph with calligraphy

Civil War era ornate family record with elaborate Spencerian style calligraphy and flourishing—including imagery of angels, cherubs, birds and flowers—"designed and wholly executed with a pen by R.H. Trumbull." 

Single sheet, 24 x 20 inches. In Good condition with shallow dampstaining along the bottom edge, small chip at the top edge and puncture in the lower right. The areas for recording births, marriages, and deaths have been filled with information about the Sweet family, beginning with William Sweet, b. 1829 and his wife, Anna, b. 1839. It descends to six children born throughout the 1860s, their marriages in the 1880s, and the death of William and Anna Sweet in 1895. Some of the writing is quite faded, but helps illustrate how the record was kept in use through several generations. 

The lithograph will ship rolled in a tube; cost will be calculated based on buyer location.
