Manuscript and Miniature (rendering (drawing); Albert Levone (Pennsylvania German illustrator, born 1895); ca. 1937; National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC, United States); 1943.8.3364)

Note: This fractur is a hymnbook illustration that refers to the 100th Psalm. Bold lettering contrasts with lighter, more graceful forms. The decorative motifs of angels, tulips, and stars were hand-drawn and colored. Fractur was brought to Pennsylvania by German scribes, an art form peculiar to the Pennsylvania Germans. It is based on upon the sixteenth-century fractur typeface. The fractur writer was often a schoolmaster as well as clergyman, with skill in drawing and writing to perform such services as illustrating books and hymnals and drawing up important documents.
