Mermaid Fraktur. German
- Small painting of a Mermaid done in early Fraktur style. Ink, Watercolor & graphite on the inside of an old book cover. It looks like it has been cared for and handed down from generation to generation
- Fraktur is a highly artistic and elaborate illuminated folk art created by the Pennsylvania Dutch, named after the Fraktur script associated with it. Most Fraktur were created between 1740 and 1860.
- The Pennsylvania Dutch Pennsylvanisch Deitsche also referred to as Pennsylvania Germans, are an ethnic group in Pennsylvania and other regions of the United States, predominantly in the Mid-Atlantic region of the nation. They largely descend from the Palatinate region of Germany, and settled in Pennsylvania during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. While most were from the Palatinate region of Germany, a lesser number were from other German-speaking areas of Germany and Europe, including Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, Saxony, and Rhineland in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the Alsace–Lorraine region of France.
- The Pennsylvania Dutch spoke Palatine German and other South German dialects, intermixing of Palatine, English, and other German dialects, which formed the Pennsylvania Dutch language as it is spoken today.
The Pennsylvania Dutch name has caused confusion. People couldn't pronounce Deutsch and it became "Dutch"- associating the people with the Dutch, rather than Germany.
