The first all-in-one edition of P.R. Spencer's Spencerian Penmanship workbook, including step-by-step calligraphy lessons and practice pages.

Easy to follow yet challenging for calligraphy enthusiasts, the Spencerian script was once the gold standard for personal and business correspondence in the 1800s. While today’s students rarely learn cursive handwriting, for over a century schoolchildren were trained in this elegant, structured system using this original penmanship guide.

Now you can follow the Spencerian calligraphy instructions and use the included calligraphy practice sheets to master:

• The seven Spencerian principles
• Proper calligraphy pen positioning
• Arm and finger movement techniques
• Letter height and width guidelines
• Letter and word spacing
• Optional calligraphy shading techniques

With Spencerian Handwriting, you can add a personal handwritten touch to your letters and notes, evoking a time of refined penmanship and classic elegance.
