Howard C. Rice, Penman and Engrosser, Easton, Pennsylvania, 1912

Howard C. Rice (1889-1963) created this elaborate card to advertise his services and demonstrate his skills as a penman and engrosser. Rice's obituary summarized his education and work: "He was graduated from Easton High School and Zanerian Art College, Columbus, Ohio. He was employed as a commercial artist for 42 years by the New England Mutual Life Insurance Boston, Mass." (Morning Call, Allentown, Pa., February 15, 1963, p. 14).

 

Compare this card with one for T. P. Lint, Penman.
