A wonderful little framing group, including an address panel entirely in the hand of George Whitefield, a charming 18th century engraving of Whitefield, and a Victorian era ink inscription, "George Whitefield."
Anything in Whitefield's hand very scarce in the trade. The present 1763 letter panel is entirely in Whitefield's hand, addressed to "Miss Bateman."
The recipient is uncertain, but there was a Miss Bateman who was rather promiment among the Whitefieldian Methodists who worshipped at Richard Housman's church [Calvinistic Methodist]
The panel measures 3 x 4.5; portrait 2.5 x 3.5; and the written name, 1 x 2.5.
