The manuscript folk art produced by the Pennsylvania Germans is called Fraktur, a name inspired by the broken character of the lettering. Documents of many kinds were gaily decorated with tulips, hearts, stars, crowns, angels, unicorns, eagles, and other figures. You can see this fascinating art form for yourself at the Free Library, where we have more than 1,000 pieces. We also have many books and broadsides produced by early German printers in America.
