Medium

Description
As the available farm land in colonial Pennsylvania diminished-the next generation of German Immigrants filtered down into the fertile Shenandoah Valley of Virginia . These families brought with them the art of fraktur -an important part of their cultural history. From 1750 to 1850 these early German farm families used these decorative folk art designs and calligraphy to celebrate birth and baptisms, marriages, house blessings and other significant events. Valley fraktur is the continuation of a tradition brought from the Old Country by the German settlers.
