Notes:

Hand-drawn; hand-lettered. The two words in Fraktur extend across the upper portion of the document. The first letter of each word is particularly ornate. The second word includes ornamental leaves and rosettes. Along the right edge of the document is a decorative border formed by a series closely spaced semi-circles. The document appears to be either a practice piece or unfinished work. The watercolor on the document was transferred from another object; it is not original to the fraktur.
