Written with a Strong Hand, 19th Century Penmanship Notebook with Many Good Combinations lemon yellow creamer Cracks to the surface asThis one was not fully completed, but the ink is so strong, and the hand that wrote it so confident, and the completed pages include some of my favorite work combinations ever: Valentine + Vermilion, Quickener + Quenchers, Yearning + Yawning (and here one Yearling inserted, too), and whole pages of Ordinary and Disclaimer. I'll never get over the delight and resonance of seeing such words repeated over and over again in perfect cursive. 8 3 8" x 6 7
