Source: Rare Book Department
Notes:

Hand-drawn; hand-colored; hand-lettered. The text in Fraktur and German script is within a heart in the lower center of the document. From the top of the heart protrudes a tree-like tulip with several leafy branches. In the lower corners are additional tulips. The entire document is framed by a decorative border. This bookplate is in the Lutheran bible Die Bibel (Philadelphia: W. Mentz, 1829).  (PA GER Philadelphia 1829 B471)

The Angene family were French Huguenots who immigrated in 1736 and settled in the Deep Run area of Bucks County, PA.  A closely-related Bible bookplate and birth record was made for Barbara Angene in 1835; see Amsler, p. 330.  See also FLP B-18 for a tune booklet made for David Angene at the Hilltown School in 1821.
