Geburtsanzeige für meine Tochter. Mit Spitzpinsel geschrieben, geprägt und Innen mit Siebdruck vervielfältigt. / Birth announcement for my daughter. Written with pointed brush, embossed and reproduced inside with screen printing.
Strange lettering with odd widths, poor spacing, and no overshoot. But I like it. Better than boring.

SECRET DOUNE WAR MEMORIAL UNVEILED Versailles Peacemakers Criticised General Sir lan Hamilton, D.5.0., unveiled Saturday the war memorial erected at Doune to the memory of the 63 men of the district who lost their lives in the war.
The memorial is obelisk in character, and its graceful proportions are enhanced by its effect against the wooded background. Its outlook is towards the village, and it is complementary to the new hall opened last week, both schemes having a similar origin and purpose.
A large concourse of people attended the ceremony, the Comrades of the Great War and the Territorials being under Captain Lindsay Pullar, and members of the Voluntary Aid Detachment under Miss Stanley Rogerson. The school children joined in the procession from the Moray Park, and were marshalled behind the memorial by the headmaster, Mr P. C. Merrie. Relatives of deceased were given a place of honour, and it was observed that some the women folk and children wore the medals and decorations of their loved ones.
On the broad base and steps of the monument were gathered the Provost and members of the Town Council and Parish Council, with their wives, and prominent people of the district, including:— Lady Muir, Deanston House; Sir A. Kay Muir, Bart, of Blair Druinmond; Mrs Harry Moncreiffe, London; Mrs M'Grigor, Beechwood, Stirling; Mr and Mrs Hogg, Row House; Mrs Bruce, Bridge of Teith Cottage: Mrs Stirling. Old Newton; Mrs G. S. Mackay, Mrs Stark Christie, Mrs Ash worth, Mrs Thomson, Miss Murray Menzies; Mr and Mrs John Stroyan and Miss Stroyan, Lanrick Castle; Miss Campbell Swinton, Glenardoch; Mrs Baillie Hamilton and party; Sir William and Lady Thomson, Dunblane; Rev. J. Chalmers Peat, Rev. James Scott, Rev. James Menzies, Rev. H. B. De Montmorency, Rev. Canon Docherty: Rev. Jas. Mitchell. Norrieston; and Mrs Scrimgeour; Mr D. Y. Cameron, Kippen, and Mrs Cameron; Mr Eric Bell. Stirling, architect of the memorial, and Mrs Bell; Dr and Mrs Burn Murdoch, Gartincaber; Mr F. L. Burder, East Deanston; ex-Provost Main, Doune; Mr Robert Thomson, Broich; Mr James Paterson, Burnbank; Mr John M'Ewen, Deanston: Mr Wm. M'Carroll, Deanston: Mr William Thomson, banker, Doune: Mr John Thomson, druggist; &c.
Burn Murdoch, who presided, called upon Sir Ian Hamilton, who is a son-in-law of .Lady Muir, to unveil the memorial.
.....
Some people say that we ought to remember our deed by building something useful, something that will be improvement to the place Other people are not satisfied unless they have some beautiful and artistic object to remind them of their lost ones. Deanston and Doune have done both, and I am very glad and very proud to have been here to-day. I have now the honour of unveiling this memorial.
As the Union Jack fell from the memorial the " Last Post " was sounded, and the pipers played lament. Rev. J. Chalmers Peat offered the dedicatory prayer. An opportunity was given at this stage to the relatives and others of placing wreaths and flowers on the memorial. It was an affecting scene, and the tributes were many and of great beauty. One which was given the place of honour was from the Doune, Deanston. and Kincardine Red Cross V.A.D. Detachment, and consisted of white everlastings on a base of laurels, with a large red cross of Flanders poppies in the centre. The Provost and Town Council, and the ex-service men, also sent wreaths, and one from Sir lan and Lady Hamilton had the following:—
"The saviours come not home to-night,
Themselves they could not save."

This chalkboard lettering is positioned on the front wall outside a public house. Its purpose being to encourage customers inside. These letters have been drawn by hand with precision. The clever flow of writing from one piece of information to the next makes this board hold a beautiful set of lettering. The method used to produce these letters form a significant aspect of the design.
Lettering I vectorized and improved using Adobe Illusrator and Photoshop, for our group avatar Typography Curitiba. See more at www.flickr.com/groups/typography_curitiba/
A sample of a practice page of script lettering on a yellow legal pad. I'm still pretty new to formal pointed pen scripts, but figured I might as well dive in and try it.

Coast Manual of Lettering and Designs, Fred Knopf and J. M. Mahaffey, 1907. Note this quote from the Sign Museum website: "Fred Knopf and J. M. Mahaffey compiled a wonderful book of layouts, designs, and alphabets using some of their own material and a "who's-who" list of outstanding sign designers of the period. This book rivals the best of Atkinson, Strong and the artists showcased in the Henderson books. This book is possibly the most rare of the top ten group and could be the best of the bunch." I can attest to the above as I searched for this book for over two years with none coming up for sale. Discouragement caused me to search my online book haunts once every two weeks instead of each day like I had done previously. Then one evening, there it was at Amazon, newly listed as a used book for $150; a steal for such a treasure. I hope to share it's contents in the near future as it has far surpassed my expectations.
