These images are pages from a 17th century German book on calligraphy. The full title of the book is, in English: “The Proper Art of Writing: a compilation of all sorts of capital or initial letters of German, Latin and Italian fonts from different masters of the noble art of writing”. The book was compiled by Kunstrichtige Schreibart and was published in 1655 by Paulus Fursten Kunsthändlern in Nürnberg, Germany.
A great range of different styles are represented seemingly increasing in elaborateness, and also illegibility, as the book goes on.

This eight year old blog relocated from Tumblr to WordPress in December of 2018. Raised in New Jersey, I studied at the Rhode Island School of Design. Now retired, I was a high-end fine art framer who did gallery and museum work. My interests and studies run a wide gamut which includes art, history, film history, philosophy, and oriental / indigenous cultures. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage more exploration.
