Book Description
Excerpt from Alphabets Old and New: For the Use of Craftsmen, With an Introductory Essay on 'Art in the Alphabet' The alphabets here gathered together have been selected, and some Of them designed, with a very practical purpose - to trace the development Of lettering, to register the forms characteristic Of successive periods Of design, to show how writing is affected by the tools employed, and, finally, to suggest the endless variations a man may himself play upon shapes in some measure fixed by custom. Here are models not for penmen only - the pen is only one of the implements employed in writing - but for all manner Of craftsmen who may have occasion to make decorative use Of wording.
