Kitchener 519-742-7752 www.region.waterloo.on.ca Accession No. 1984.028.338 Curatorial Comments The Bauman family roots were in Berks County, Pennsylvania, but he was born near Waterloo and farmed near St. Jacobs. Several bookplates, family records and pictorial drawings are attributed to him, and it appears that he was most active in the 1860's. His work is similar to that of Abraham Latschaw and Isaac Z. Hunsicker. He retained some elements from both of these early Fraktur artists, but he also copied motifs from printed forms. Bauman produced many drawings of trees and birds for children and grandchildren, with simple texts, as well as many family records which he lettered and embellished with geometric designs.
