The first all-in-one edition of P.R. Spencer's Spencerian Penmanship workbook, including step-by-step calligraphy lessons and practice pages.

Easy to follow yet challenging for calligraphy enthusiasts, the Spencerian script was once the gold standard for personal and business correspondence in the 1800s.
