The Pennsylvania Germans
P.J. Conkwright, Princeton, New Jersey, 1942
Description
Juror Notes
This is the product of an exceptionally good eye and unusual mastery of bookmaking. Objection was made to the initials as “unauthentic” but I consider them sound calligraphically and an appropriate grace note.
