Your unique source for carvings by Bastian

The carved Gilbert Rabbit on left is taken from an early watercolor
done by John Conrad Gilbert around
1795-1800. The watercolor is considered to be the first representation
of an Easter Rabbit in America.
The actual watercolor is part of the Abby Aldrich Collection
I had originally done these back in the 80's, by request, from Gerlachs
of Lecha located in Emmaus PA.
Once again this year, the Gilbert Rabbit is available
in limited quantities. |
Sincerely,
Jonathan Bastian
