  • During the American Golden Age of Penmanship (1850 - 1925), the Spencerian Standard became the backbone of our Business Penmanship and Ornamental Penmanship styles. Many other lesser-known styles emerged from Spencerian as well, including a series of Back Hands -- a particular style of Spencerian that is written with a backward slant.
     
    In this workshop, we will learn an unusual, yet intriguing, casual hybrid of the Spencerian Abbott Back Hand and the Zanerian Shaded-Base, Eccentric Penmanship.
