Deidamla Swallow (b. 1778, Groton, MA) Fraktur Penmanship Nameplate in Lemon Gold Frame doves and all the paint stillYou know how much I love fine examples of early penmanship with fancy fraktur lettering, but I love the name Deidamia Swallow at least equally as much! And if my name were Deidamia Swallow, I would most certainly want to hang it proudly on the wall. Executed in black ink, dated February 28, 1811, behind glass in the perfect antique gilded frame. And I have identified Deidamia, born Deidamia Woods on October 28, 1778 in Groton, MA, married to Nahum
