The Gilbert-type Taufschein for Isaac Wummer presents two clad and shod angels trumpeting, perhaps to announce little Isaac's birth. An assortment of floral decorations completes the drawing. Conrad Gilbert's angels tend to be similarly attired but do not suffer quite the severe trumpeter's lip as these.
