EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Specimen of Ornamental Penmanship" transports us back to the refined society of the 19th century. The intricate details and elegant strokes showcased in this print exemplify the artistry and skill involved in ornamental penmanship during that era. The image is a part of a private collection, offering us a glimpse into an exclusive world where good manners and etiquette were highly valued. It was originally created as an illustration for "The National Encyclopaedia of Business and Social Forms" by James D McCabe, published around 1881. As we study this piece, we can imagine it adorning the pages of prestigious publications or gracing the walls of well-to-do households. Its presence evokes a sense of sophistication and refinement that characterized high society at the time. Through this engraving, we are reminded not only of the artistic talent prevalent during the late 19th century but also how societal norms shaped daily life. It serves as a testament to both craftsmanship and cultural values from that period. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have access to this remarkable piece which allows us to appreciate its historical significance even today.
