Maker\Attribution Isaac Hunsicker/Wilhelm Gerhard Provenance The Fraktur artist Isaac Ziegler Hunsicker (1803-1870), was born in Montgomery County. His great, great grandfather arrived in Pennsylvania in 1717. Examples of his artwork have been found in Pennsylvania and in Ontario. According to Hunsicker history, Isaac and his brother Michael (1796-1871) stopped briefly in Ohio before moving on to Ontario in the 1830's. It is believed he came to Upper Canada during the 1832-35 period. It is not sure if he was a school teacher in Pennsylvania, but he was involved in the educational activities of early Waterloo county (he's listed among the first school teachers at the Eby School in Berlin beginning in 1837). Characteristics of his Fraktur include a predilection for scripture text with decorative embellishments, common sense proverbs and didactic statement following religious script, and geographical references to cities, and provinces. Several pieces feature a stylized face in upper corners, and a precise execution of a decorative border composed usually of an 'S' motif. His career as a Fraktur artist extended from approximately 1830-1870. Collection Joseph Schneider Haus Museum Contact : 466 Queen St. S.
