Description

By Edward Johnston One of the founders of modern calligraphy, Edward Johnston regarded lettering, writing, and illuminating as not only desirable ends in themselves but also as practical avenues to mastery of typography, decoration, and design. In this classic, profusely illustrated handbook (originally published in 1906), Johnston distilled his expertise into a series of easy-to-follow lessons that will benefit any student of calligraphy, book design, or art.
