Abstract:

The identities of southern fraktur artists have rarely been identified, but the discovery of a student copybook revealed its identity as George Peter Dodson, also known as the Stony Creek artist of Shenandoah County, Virginia. Ornamented manuscripts in the copybook also revealed links to the identification of other fraktur artists such as Ehre Vater of North Carolina.
