Elegant hand

An elegant hand, The golden age of American penmanship and Calligraphy by William E. Henning.

300 large format b&w pages, a fantastic story of a culture little known to Europeans more interested in the broad-edge pen tradition. This book takes us through an infinity of documents in the life and work of great masters such as Spencer, Palmer, and Madarasz. At the end we can admire their ornate pages, certificates, diplomas, but also private correspondence in more informal styles.
