This is a very old German Bible,1788. It came to Lunenburg with the German Settlers. It has been in Lunenburg County ever since. There are hand written dates in it from 1804. But it is in German and my family does not speak or read German. ( Click on the image to make it big, you can see the words better!)
What a great image! Obviously taken back before Guttenberg.
ReplyDeleteI love these old books. What history they contain, if you could only read it. I like the setting you have here...the quill and candle make the photo seem from an older time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely image for not in your mother tongue.Nicely set, too.
