5.0 out of 5 stars
Valuable Resource,
This review is from: Spencerian Script and Ornamental Penmanship: Early American Handwriting (Volume 2) (Paperback)
This book has nearly 600 PAGES of examples of Spencerian Script. It is a super reference for those learning Spencerian. (Volume II has no instruction, just examples). First are six pages of penmanship of Platt R Spencer. Next are examples that display individual capital letterforms.These models exhibit both the classic structure of letters and the wide range of artistic variations of the master penman. The following section contains examples of social and business correspondence from the late 19th and early 20th century America. These everyday epistles range from unadorned script to elaborate penmanship. Next are ornamental signatures and monograms. The last section is off-hand flourishing with many variations of birds drawn with the same pointed pens used for Spencerian Script. For step-by-step instruction, you should instead purchase Sull's Learning to write Spencerian Script, a small, spiral-bound paperback which presents the essential teaching from Volume I of Spencerian Script and Ornamental Penmanship.
