Italic and Copperplate Calligraphy

Italic and copperplate are easily the most popular styles among today's calligraphers. This volume brings something fresh to a field increasingly crowded with how-to primers: intermediate level advice for those looking to advance to the next level. Well-illustrated, step-by-step instructions by an expert calligrapher explain every detail of mastering the two hands, from the basics of posture and practice to tips on texture, colour, and commercial calligraphy. It is a Dover Original.
