Continuing a major series on American Folk Art featuring 21 postings. Folk Art encompasses art produced by artists and ordinary folk with little or no training in the arts, and is traditionally utilitarian and decorative rather than purely aesthetic. The period I’m covering is the C18th and C19th. See parts 1-3 also for earlier works. Note: Follow me on Twitter for notice of updates @poulwebb This is part 4 of a 21-part post on American Folk Art: This post looks at Frakturs (see description below) and the work of scrivenors and decorators. Fraktur is both a style of lettering and a highly artistic and elaborate illuminated folk art created by the Pennsylvanian German. Most Fraktur were created between 1740 and 1860. Fraktur drawings were executed in ink and/or watercolors and are found in a wide variety of forms: the Vorschriften (writing samples), the Taufscheine (birth and baptismal certificates), marriage and house blessings, book plates, and floral and figurative scenes. The earlier Fraktur were executed entirely by hand, while printed text became increasingly common in later examples. Common artistic motifs in Fraktur include birds, hearts, and tulips, as well as black-letter and italic calligraphy, Today, many major American museums, including the American Folk Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art have Fraktur in their collection. Important Fraktur have been sold by major American auction houses and antique dealers for prices in excess of $100,000. 1760c Ephrata Frakture ink and watercolour on paper 1770-1800c Fraktur by Johann Heinrich Otto (c1733-c1800) watercolour, pen and ink and graphite on paper 33.5 x 42.1 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City 1775c Adam and Eve attributed to the Sussel-Washington Artist 1776c Baptismal Certificate for Maria Gertraud by the Sussel-Washington Artist watercolour and ink on paper 16.3 x 20.6 cm 1776c Two Soldiers attributed to the Sussel-Washington Artist 1780c Fraktur attributed to Johann Heinrich Otto watercolour and pen and ink on paper 21 x 33.3 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City 1780c By the Sussel-Washington Artist watercolour and ink on paper 19.7 x 15.9 cm 1782 Birth and Baptismal Certificate by Johann Heinrich Otto (c1733-c1800) ink and watercolour on paper 32.1 x 40 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City 1785 Religious Poem, Bucks County, PA 1788 Birth and Baptismal Certificate by Johan Zug ink and watercolour on paper 30.5 x 39.4 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City 1795 Birth and Baptismal Certificate, Dauphin County, PA watercolour and ink on paper 31.1 x 37.5 cm 1795-1805c Small Fraktur of Man and Woman, attributed to Friedrich Krebs (1749-1815), probably Berks County, Pennsylvania 10.2 x 15.2 cm 1795c Christian Mertel, Berks County, PA 1797c Durs Rudy, Lehigh County, PA 1798 Birth and Baptismal Certificate for Anna Maria Oberle attributed to Johannes Ernst Spangenberg (c1755-1814) 1800 Drawing of the Crucifixion watercolour, gum arabic and ink on paper 34.3 x 26.7 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City 1800 Love Token watercolour on paper 33 cm diameter Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City 1800c Durs Rudy, Lehigh County, PA "Adam and Eve" 1801 George Geistweite, Centre County, PA 1801c Birth and Baptismal Certificate attributed to Georg Friederich Speyer (active 1774-1801c) Berks County, PA letterpress hand-coloured in ink and watercolour 33.7 x 40.6 cm Philadelphia Museum of Art, PA 1803 "E.M.M" Bucks County, PA 1806 Flyleaf ink on paper 30.8 x 26.2 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City Samuel Bentz (1792-1850) Lancaster Pennsylvania: 1807 (attributed to) Birth Certificate for Johannes Giwler 5 January 1807 watercolour and ink on paper 24.1 x 19.1 cm 1811c (attributed to) Birth Record for Lydia Glasz 1828 Bookplate for Elisabeth Niszly 20 February 1828 1830c (attributed to) Presentation Drawing inscribed to Evans Steiner 1835 Birth Certificate for Catherine Styre 18 August 1835 ink and watercolour 1838 Birth Certificate for John Rayer watercolour on paper 23.8 x 18.4 cm * * * * * 1809c Birth Certificate Fraktur by Reverend Henry Young (1791-92-1861), Centre County, Pennsylvania watercolour and ink on paper 24.8 x 19.7 cm 1809c by Martin Brechall (1783-1830) Fraktur Birth-Baptismal Certificate watercolour and ink on paper 33 x 19.4 cm 1810c Presentation Fraktur, probably Lehigh County, PA 1810c Susanna Hübner (1750-1818) Letter "H" watercolour and ink on paper 1813 House Blessing printed by Samuel Baumann (1788-1820) relief print and letterpress with watercolour hand-colouring 31.8 x 39.4 cm Philadelphia Museum of Art, PA 1815 (Unknown artist) Montgomery County, PA ink and watercolour on paper 9.1 x 7.6 cm Philadelphia Museum of Art, PA 1820 Daniel Otto (1770-1822c) Birth and Baptismal Certificate for Katterina Dinges 1820 Johannes Setzer, Bucks County, PA 1821 Jacob Leith Presentation Fraktur 1822 Birth and Baptismal Certificate ink and watercolour on paper 31.4 x 39.7 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City 1822 Charles E.
