Johann Conrad Gilbert (1734–1812) was an American fraktur artist.
An emigrant from Germany, Gilbert ultimately settled in Berks County, Pennsylvania.
[1] By profession he was a Lutheran schoolmaster posted to several churches in Berks and Schuylkill Counties.
His output consisted of baptismal records; presentation pieces, many depicting schoolmasters holding slates; religious texts; and images of the Easter rabbit, the earliest American depictions of the figure.
Hallmarks of his frakturs include careful lines, deep color, and exotically dressed angels.
