Format:Paperback
A great source book of calligraphy and script, which is a must for all those who enjoy decoupage and collage. From flowing hand written invitations to bills and invoices from the 1900's, the choice is widespread to suit all tastes. The fact that the content is copyright free is extremely useful for those artists wishing to sell their work on the open market. It has proved invaluable to myself and my colleagues.

This is an excellent source book for a calligrapher. Many stunning samples of copperplate script and illustrations that look virtually impossible to recreate but also many ones that inspire to try! I think this is excellent value for money.

Format:Paperback
This is the whole Universal Penman" that was released over a timespan of several years.
This is a magnificent book.
Not only the writing is beautiful but the prose is also humanist.
As to the calligraphy this is without limits. A capital can be displayed in more ways than you could possibly imagine. Note that several master penmen have written pages for this masterpiece.
The ornament is splendid, seems spontaneous and a the same time elaborate, and can be mind-blogging.
