This pencil drawing caught my eye -- Ferdinand Brader (a Swiss immigrant who worked extensively in Pennsylvania and Ohio) did The Property of Daniel and Sarah Leibelspewrger, Fleetwood, Berks County, Pennsylvania. It is quite large and with a glass cover hard to photograph in toto because of reflections, so I chose just a detail. This drawing was described as depicting "a well-maintained and prosperous Pennsylvania German homestead". Many years ago I lived in Kutztown, perhaps 5 miles from the scene shown here.
