Original 1865 antique German-language Confirmation Certificate issued to Theodor Hatry in New Orleans, Louisiana. This is a large, decorative religious document, richly printed with biblical scenes, angels, sacraments, and symbolic imagery surrounding the central text.
The certificate is dated 10 April 1865, placing it at the very end of the Civil War period, and reflects the strong German immigrant presence in New Orleans during the mid-19th century. The text appears to confirm Hatry’s completion of religious instruction and formal confirmation within a Lutheran or Reformed German church community.
Printed by J. E. Stohlmann, 24 North William St., Newark, whose imprint appears at the bottom—an established 19th-century German-American religious printer. The document retains its original green embossed seal.
