EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate and intricate piece of art titled "Pages from a Hymnal". Created by the American School, this artwork is hand-drawn, hand-colored, and hand-lettered. The hymnal pages are beautifully rendered in pen and ink with watercolor on paper, measuring 20.5x27 cm. The artwork originates from Ephrata Cloister and specifically represents leaf 18 (verso of 18/recto of 19) in a music book produced there. On the left side of the page, we see the opening lines of three hymns accompanied by musical notation. Meanwhile, on the right side, there is more music along with an exquisite drawing depicting flowers. The book itself comprises three preliminary leaves, one hundred and forty-one numbered leaves (out of an original one hundred and sixty), one unnumbered leaf, as well as four unnumbered leaves containing printed indexes for opening lines of hymns. The music within includes harmonies in four parts alongside the initial words to various hymn selections from Christoph Saur's publication called "Zionitischer Weyrauchs HAogel" (The Incense Hill of Zion) released in 1739. Throughout this remarkable piece are major decorations found on specific rectos such as leaves numbered 19,24,30,38,58,61 , 88 , 90 , and122 while minor embellishments can be discovered throughout its entirety. Overall, this extraordinary print offers us a glimpse into both artistic craftsmanship and historical significance through its representation of religious music during that era.
