(PENNSYLVANIA) [Windham M.E. Sabbath School] Windham M.E. Sabbath School. God Bless Our Sabbath School. : , . [Windham, Pennsylvania? no date, ca. 1860's?] Approx. 4' x 2' A large hand-painted cloth banner suspended on opposite wooden rollers, and intended for the Windham Methodist Episcopalian Sabbath School proclaiming “God Bless Our Sabbath School.” Boldly-lettered, graphic, and colorful, this school banner offers a diverse array of color and handsome naÔve lettering. Additionally, the banner employs hand-painted ornamentation which is both complicated and simplistic, suggesting perhaps a number of hands at work. The banner is painted with gold metallic paint and, at least, six other colors. A sparkling effect is seen on the banner's elaborate perimeter scroll work, possibly obtained by minute pieces of glass or mica being mixed in with the paint. Also seen are faint, ruled lines in graphite. Condition: The middle portion of the banner shows a small tear in the fabric. The lower section exhibits some discoloration and signs of wear, perhaps from being exposed to the outside elements. Some loss of color is seen. The upper half of the banner remains bright and fresh. The banner can be rolled up and down via its original thin red rope which it still retains. In its original state, well-preserved, unsophisticated, and presentable. There are two locales in Pennsylvania identified as Windham. One is in Bradford County, the other is in Wyoming County. Price: USD 1,200.00 other currencies   order no. 141172    inquire
