"Alfabet in Fraktur" (1855) by Pieter Wilhelmus van de Weijer is a calligraphic alphabet in the Fraktur style. The artwork displays the letters A-Z in a decorative, ornate script that was popular in Germany during the 15th-19th centuries. The calligraphic practice of Fraktur can be seen as a predecessor to modern typefaces. It is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
