Fraktur 1935 - 1942

"Fraktur" by Albert Levone (1855-1995) is a birth and baptism certificate, dated 1935-1942. The artwork, rendered in brown ink and watercolor, features a stylized floral border with two birds flanking a central text panel. The inscription, likely written in Fraktur script, details the birth and baptism of a child. This genre of folk art, known as Fraktur, was popular in Pennsylvania Dutch communities during the 18th and 19th centuries, reflecting the merging of European and American traditions.
