ABOUT 18 years ago, as a student in elementary school, I came across a pile of old letters, written in the mid 1800's. I was fascinated by the beauty of the penmanship and began to copy the letter-forms using a pencil. I switched to ballpoint pen a few years later, but it was only when I discovered the original pens used for this form of writing, wooden pen-holders with tiny metal nibs, that I really began to understand what went into the script I was eager to emulate.
