Description
I am selling an authentic document, more than 110 years old, on thick textured paper with decorative edges. Content: A calligraphic wedding invitation to Emma Miller and Fricis Ozs for their marriage at St. James Lutheran Church in Pskov (27 November 1912). Historical connection: The address in Riga (Matīsa Street) mentioned at the bottom of the invitation confirms the close ties of Baltic Latvian/German families with Pskov before the First World War. Defect: One corner of the document is torn off (see close-up photo), which is natural wear for paper of this age. Overall, the paper is firm and the text is perfectly legible. Historical pencil notes have been preserved on the reverse side. An excellent rarity for collectors or history researchers.
