About Fraktur:
Fraktur was created by the Pennsylvania Germans during the eighteenth through the mid nineteenth centuries and features calligraphic text decorated with colorful birds, hearts, and flowers. The tradition has its roots in the illuminated manuscripts of medieval Europe, but evolved into a distinctive part of the local Pennsylvania German culture. Today, those who appreciate this colorful fold art enjoy drawing their own fraktur designs based on the work of the early fraktur artists.
