Handwritten ketuba. Philadelphia, United States. 1883
30x25 cm.
Ketuba written in calligraphy, black ink on paper, upon the marriage of Moshe bar Eliezer with Chana Bat Shmuel. Philadelphia, [Pennsylvania] 1883. The name of the mesader kedushin, officiating rabbi, appears on the bottom: Gershon bar Moshe Simcha...k"k Beit El Emet.
19th century Philadelphia ketubot were made in a very simple style that included the nicely written text but no illustrations. The ketuba collection of the National Library includes only 9 ketubot from 18th-19th century Philadelphia. Some of them are in a similar style to this one.
Not in the ketuba collection of the National Library.
Mounted on a stiff surface.
Brown water stain on about half of the ketuba, creases.
Moderate condition.
