Fall feelings call for this beautiful Fraktur of fine lines and foliage to start off the week. 

Fraktur 7964.F [graphic] 

We have little information about this Fraktur, other than it was a title page of a Bible owned by a Johann Heinrich Bird. Another one of those manuscript mysteries here at the Library Company.
