Notes:
Hand-drawn; hand-colored; hand-lettered. In the center of the document is Jesus on a pedestal, flanked by his disciples. All are dressed in long robes. The group is framed on the sides by two decorative columns topped by pots of flowers, and above by a banner decorated with flowers. In the upper center are two flying angels, one with a trumpet and one with a garland of flowers. A sun is in the upper left corner, and a moon is in the right one. Along the bottom are various flowers growing in a hilly ground. Both Durs Rudy Sr. and Durs Rudy Jr. are thought to have made fraktur; firm attributions to one or the other are difficult.
