Fraktur, Schwabacher, and Cursive, as shown by Fournier le jeune
From Manuel Typographique (scans)
1764
We have a contemporary account of type-founding in Germany and Prussia by Fournier, who in the year 1766 wrote:
Germany, the cradle of Printing, has successfully cultivated the art, by establishing several celebrated foundries, which are usually richer in material than those of other countries, because, in addition to the ordinary types common to other foundries, those have been added which are peculiar to that peculiar country, like the German characters called Fracture [sic] and Schwabacher, which it is necessary to have in all sizes.
