Framed Illuminated Calligraphy, "Bear Ye One Another's Burdens," Revivalist Style

A framed piece of illuminated calligraphy featuring the English text “Bear ye one another’s burdens” rendered in a blackletter Gothic script. The initial ‘B’ is intricately decorated with blue, green, yellow, and gold floral and vine motifs. Delicate pastel scrollwork fills the background surrounding the main text. A smaller inscription, “Galatians VI v. II,” identifies the biblical source in the lower right. The artwork is housed under glass within a simple stained wood frame, which features a gold-toned inner fillet. The reverse of the frame bears a partial paper label identifying “H. GRONSHAW, Fine Art Dealer and Picture Framer.” from “Blackburn.”
