I have a very ornate marriage certificate of an ancestor, and I am trying to determine whether this is a Fraktur or Artifact. I know that originally, Fraktur's were elaborate hand painted certificates with some being illuminated, however, as time passed many of these were done in mass production on printing presses.
This one was obivously done on a printing press, and mass produced. Currently I am inclined to think that this is a Artifact (certificate). I have eliminated Church Records simply because I didn't find this record in a Church, it is privately held. I have looked through the Legacy Archives and cannot find an adequate answer to my question, therefore, I am seeking the groups opinion. Should I cite this as a Fraktur or Artifact?
