Barbara Ebersol (1846-1922) worked as a seamstress &amp; created fraktur (hand-decorated &amp; painted) bookplates &amp; paintings. Numerous anecdotes about their lives enhance this carefully researched story. How the 19th century Amish community approached, accepted, &amp; nurtured them is discussed. Full-color illustrations of many surviving examples of their work reveal their creativity, charm, &amp; craft.
