Rare Cast Iron Plate, Posch Leonard, Circa 1820, John The Evangelist

Very nice quality, here is a plate, in cast iron, with many details. It represents John the Evangelist, an eagle bringing him his pen to write, his arm on a book. Below a quote in German "Da gerieth ich am Tage Des herrn in eine entzuckung und horte hinter Mir eine stimme gleich dem posaunenschalle" which can be translated as: "then on the day of the lord, I felt in pleasure, and heard a voice behind me, like the ball of a trumpet". Very pretty little cast iron frame also, decorated with garlands. Small fixing ring and hooks of the plate on the frame in the same material. Several plates were produced, one being in the Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin, another in Birmingham.
Excellent condition, no flaws.
European work, Germany or Prussia, dating from the first part of the 19th century, Circa 1820-1830.
Dimensions: (without the ring): 15.4cm x 12.2cm
