Just a quick one to show off a page of Copperplate I produced last night:
This was written using an EF Principal nib and Higgins Eternal ink. The top paragraph was copied from the wonderful Universal Penman by George Bickham. An incredible book produced in the 18th Century showcasing engraved Copperplate and Roundhand scripts from seemingly all the Master Penmen of the age. If you don't have a copy go and buy one now - you can spend hours marvelling at it, and it's got lots to copy and experiment with, including some pretty spectacular flourishing.
The other quote on there was just what I happened to be listening to at the time. A prize for anyone who can name the musical!
