the write stuff

JP Williams

 

1869. germany. caspar moos. there is nothing modern about this letterhead, however the typography speaks to me. of the many covers that i have written about this one stands out. why is that? do they teach penmanship in school anymore? i know i was graded on 'writing' in elementary school. i remember my report card—all c's.

this letterhead is in german and i tried to make out the handwriting to translate it for you but i gave up. sorry. i had more pressing things to do, sorry. whenever i think about handwriting i make a mental note. actually, michael sull comes to mind. i’d like to take one of his classes or workshops one day. i already have the tools. i’ve told my daughter we should do this together. of course i get the roll of the eyes and the 'what planet are you on?’ look. i am interested in acquiring this skill. some day. just another thing for retirement.
