Fraktur is a traditional form of illuminated Pennsylvania Dutch folk art and black-letter type. Kate Paine produces both original designs and reproductions.
Fraktur pieces are most frequently commissioned for life events such as weddings and births. These examples show a variety of certificates, in addition to a collection of notecards and the reproduction of an original 1800's Pennsylvania German Fraktur. This reproduction was one of a series painted to provide English translations for display in the historical society.
Watercolor and pen & ink on hand-dyed cold-pressed paper, sizes vary.
