Georg Friederich Speyer(Berks, Dauphin and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania, active 1774-1801) - Adam & Eve fraktur drawing printed and hand-colored watercolor on paper, the borders with typical red, green, and yellow birds, trailing vines, and various flowers centering on script below Adam & Eve flanking an apple tree with a black serpent, 14" x 12 3/4". . This is possibly a unique example of the figures being printed rather than hand drawn. For similar examples, see Fraktur Writings or Illuminated Manuscripts by Dr. Donald A. Shelley, plate 288; and The Pennsylvania German Collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art by Beatrice Garvan, pg. 316, fig. 1.
