Random Passage: "Whether because of direct contact or because of common antecedents, there are some parallels between the cuttings of Walker and decorative work of the Pennsylvania Dutch areas, where cutwork was used for the same types of items usually decorated in the better known fractur style."
Notes: Catalog for a traveling exhibit of works by John Brown Walker (1815-1908), a folk artist who created intricate paper cutouts in rural areas of Pennsylvania, northeastern Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. The exhibit contained 65 examples of Walker's handicraft executed between 1880 and 1907.
