This historic initial letter is part of an alphabet called Barock that was designed by Georg Heinrich Paritus in 1710. No other information is found about the designer.
Each letter is beautifully presented in a solid wood gold frame and a generous 6 ply mat with a hand-painted gold beveled edge. There is a hook for wall hanging or an optional brass easel stand for desk and tabletop display. Attached to the back is a story card describing the history behind the letter.
