EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Fractur: Christening Certificate" created by Ella Josephine Sterling in 1936. The certificate, although dated as 1782, beautifully combines elements from both the 18th and 20th centuries. It is a remarkable example of American heritage art that reflects the country's rich religious and cultural history. Sterling's artistic prowess shines through in this piece, which features intricate blackletter script executed in gothic style. The use of watercolor and graphite on paper adds depth and vibrancy to the design, making it truly eye-catching. The delicate color palette enhances its decorative appeal while maintaining a functional purpose as an official document. The Fractur: Christening Certificate represents not only a religious ceremony but also serves as a testament to America's colonial past. Its German origins are evident in the fraktur script used, showcasing influences from European calligraphy traditions. Now housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this period item offers viewers a glimpse into America's artistic landscape during the thirties and forties. It stands as a testament to Sterling's talent as an artist who skillfully combined traditional techniques with contemporary aesthetics. As we admire this stunning piece, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and connect us to our shared cultural heritage. Ella Josephine Sterling has left behind an enduring legacy through her masterful creation that continues to captivate audiences today.
