FAMILY REGISTER
Watercolor on paper
Washburn Family
Newton, Massachusetts
By Martha Ann Washburn (1825-1918)
March of 1841
Family Register is written in Gothic lettering at the top over a banner commemorating the marriage of Joshua Washburn and Sylvia Mosman in April, 1824, also recorded are the births and deaths of the seven brothers and sisters of Martha, and rather unusually, even her death has been recorded. The paper is toned and has some light water stains at the bottom, no tears, holes or repairs. The note at the bottom indicating the register was created by Martha Ann Washburn was clearly added long ago. Mounted within an ebonized frame with beading. (20.25-inches by 15.25-inches, 22.5-inches by 17.5-inches framed.)
