Hand lettering hits the Web - All Salon - Salon.com

Hand lettering hits the Web - All Salon - Salon.com: Enter the Internet. A quick search on Archive.org (prompted by the hand-letterer's forum) provided tons of full scans of amazing hand-lettering instruction books from the late 19th century through the mid-20th. I brought these books with me and had an amazing time learning. Please enjoy my favorites: "The Sign Painter" (1916), Lettering (c1916), "Elements of Lettering and Sign Painting; (1899) and the extensively named "The Art of Show Card Writing: A Modern Treatise Covering All Branches of the Art ... With One Hundred and Fifty-three Illustrations and Thirty-two Lettering Plates, Comprising All the Standard Ancient and Modern Styles" (1922).
