Pa. German Fraktur 1935 - 1942

This Fraktur, a type of illuminated manuscript made by Pennsylvania Dutch communities, is a beautiful example of the style. "Pa. German Fraktur" by Albert Levone, dating between 1935 and 1942, showcases the iconic bright colors and intricate floral motifs that are hallmarks of Fraktur. The inscription within the central circle narrates the birth of a daughter, which is a common subject for Fraktur. The work is both visually striking and historically significant, providing insight into the cultural traditions of Pennsylvania Dutch communities.
