Few pieces on this board are as domestic as a family record card: this one pairs a floral border with the text of the Lord's Prayer, the kind of card once filled in by hand to log births, baptisms, marriages and deaths. Cards like it were typically printed in quantity and sold to families, who used them as a keepsake and a place to record the milestones of a household. The combination of devotional text and blank spaces for names and dates reflects how religion and family memory were tightly bound in everyday life. Because the card was meant to be written on, the surviving examples often carry the handwriting of several generations, which makes them valuable to genealogists as well as to collectors of printed ephemera.
