Birth and Baptismal fractur, watercolor on paper, signed “Martin Brechall”. This fractur documented the birth of Anna Marie Sendisin in 1811, in Bethlehem Township, PA. Anna Marie married Carl Stulver in 1831, (see item #260105 for his birth fractur), and the two fracturs descended in the families of the subjects until recently being consigned to auction. The couple were the owner’s grandmother’s great-grandparents.
Martin Brechall (c. 1757–1831) was a highly prominent American folk artist who specialized in creating Pennsylvania German fraktur during the "Golden Age" of fraktur (1790–1830).
