Portrait engraving of Johann Conrad Sondershausen, Lutheran preacher in Frankfurt, from 1646. The subject stands at a reading desk with one hand raised in a teaching gesture, the other resting on an open book. He wears the traditional black robes and white ruff collar of a 17th century Protestant minister. Text below identifies him as 'Evangelischer Prediger in Franckfurt' (Evangelical Preacher in Frankfurt) and notes he served for 17 years, referencing 1 Corinthians 2:5 and Psalm 71:16. The reverse shows pencil notation 'No. 1983' and publisher marking 'B. Kilian sculps.' Water damage affects the lower right portion but the engraving itself remains intact. Measures 13 x 20 inches for the mounted page and 9 x 13 inches for the print. It is hinge taped on 3 corners to a heavy mounting paper.
