Pointed Nib Calligraphy - Historic Introduction To Muggle And Wizard Handwriting

Handwriting and calligraphy has been important since the early ages of manuscript transmission in the magical as well as in the muggle world. While business handwriting practically disappeared from the muggle world after the spreading of the so called typewriter (which was invented in the 1860s) in the early 1920s, in the wizarding world handwriting is still the standard tool for correspondence of all sorts. This book offers an introduction to different common historic pointed nib handwriting techniques such as english current, american spencerian ornamental penmanship, german current (Deutsche Kurrent), etc. Not only first year students should might find this guide helpful but also adult magicians and muggles can learn a great deal about a thoroughly structured, clean and elegant penmanship in this book.
