Description
"Here is a unique method for gaining competence in the art of calligraphy. George L. Thomson, a professional calligrapher and member of the Society of Scribes and Illuminators, shows how to master the four basic scripts from which all western scripts are derived,--uncial, round hand, black letter and italic. The method employed uses large movements to fix the required strokes in the mind, since it is easy to see the subtleties and mechanics of a large letter, and these are scaled down as skill is acquired. Anyone mastering the scripts demonstrated here will be well equipped to start an advanced course in calligraphy or to undertake further personal research into any of the historical scripts belonging to the same family."--Page [4] of cover.
