Description
The Universal Penman by George Bickham is a comprehensive guide to calligraphy and commercial art. First compiled in the 1740s, this work features the best specimens of 24 leading calligraphers of its time, with each plate reproduced from an original so clear that they surpass many 18th-century originals. This Dover edition contains every plate engraved by Bickham, including over 210 full-page plates featuring beautiful and interesting material. The book showcases a wide range of subjects, such as pictorial scenes, script pictures, alphabets, lettered specimens, panels, frames, and other effects. With over 950 lettered specimens available for use without permission, this book is an invaluable resource for artists and designers. Individual items in the Universal Penman are free to use, with permission not required for up to ten items per use. This makes it a valuable addition to any artist's or designer's library.
