This is a colorful, hand-colored birth and baptismal certificate (Geburts- und Taufschein) for Bieber Georg Kohler, born December 19, 1863, in Maxatawny Township, Pennsylvania. The certificate states it was printed by Saeger and Leisenring in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 1863, and it was completed and signed by the scrivener Martin Wetzler on December 29, 1864. The item features ornate illustrations typical of Pennsylvania German folk art, including two winged angels (one holding a horn and harp, the other a wreath and chalice), an eagle with a banner, and four birds perched on leafy branches at the bottom. The central text, written in German script and Fraktur, details the birth and baptism information, along with a poem. 3.
