Copperplate Calligraphy

Rating:
Summary: A classic on the subject of copperplate
Review: Not only is this book out of print but Dick Jackson is no longer with us. This book is a classic regarding the copperplate alphabet. It is written clearly with excellent examples of the letters. One of the secrets to the lettering is a light touch to the up strokes. The other is the down strokes - none of us who were fortunate to have taken one of his workshops will ever forget his voice - MASH ON IT - as we created the downstrokes with the pen. He always wanted to see a contrast to the thick/thin lines. This book is worth searching for.
