Now just might be the time to learn Spencerian penmanship, and this would be the ultimate guide to doing so! I've come across a few different soft covered pen work instruction guides, but this seems to be the mother of them all, including examples of elaborate Spencerian drawings of lions and eagles and Diana riding a stag--which clearly spurred larger versions of the same. Plus fantastic alphabets, designs for autograph albums, instructions for making transfers, and much more. Very inspiring!
11 1/2" x 9" x 5/8" hardcover, 1881 copyright. 44 printed pages with blank backs. The pages are securely staple bound but have come loose from the cover, but both cover itself and pages are in very good condition.
