Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)While there are nice examples of Fraktur in this book, they are all line drawings in black and white, much like a coloring book. I did not realize this book would be pictures only, and basically intended to be used for coloring or stencil work.

One of the ways in which the Mennonites, Moravians and other German farmfolk expressed their joy of living in southeastern Pennsylvania was in the adornment of documents (Fraktur and Vorschrift), samplers, house blessings, Valentines, furniture, needlework, walls and other craft examples with floral borders, hearts, tulips, doves and other motifs in vivid abundance. The designs reproduced faithfully here are not the commercial hex signs seen at roadside stands but the authentic art of the Pennsylvania German culture.
