Summary
This book features printed house blessings, a type of Pennsylvania German broadside that is often classified with fraktur because major fraktur artists decorated them. In fact, as God Bless This House points out, few fraktur artists made freehand examples of these blessings, but some artists designed press-printed examples, and many others added color and freehand artwork to printed sheets.
