Johannes Ernst Spangenberg, an Easton, Pennsylvania Bible artist, created birth and baptismal certificates, called frakturs. The Andres family of Sussex County, West New Jersey were some of his most active patrons, and for them and others he created art-rich documents in watercolor and ink, usually worded in English. Much like the page of a medieval manuscript, they featured musicians, floral groups, animals, and human figures. Often there was a floral border.
His fraktur of one of the A (showing 500 of 983 characters). |
