In Understanding Colonial Handwriting, Harriet Stryker-Rodda presents examples of colonial letter forms and script, showing the letter forms in the process of development and marki ng the ways in which they differ from later letter forms. She also provides a comparison of English and American handwriting and examples of name forms and signatures all to bear out her central thesis, that the reader must find meaning in a group of symbols without needing to see each letter of which the whole is composed. This is indispensable in dealing with the problems of reading and interpretation. Harriet Stryker-Rodda (1986), 2007, paper, 28 pp.ISBN: 9780806311531 102-5647 Show more
