About This Item
(likely) mid-to-late 19th century. Hardcover. Near Fine. Original plain wraps, nicely bound in cloth-backed marbled paper boards, "PENMANSHIP" stamped in gilt on spine; oblong 12mo (9.25-by-6.25 inches); pp. 16, plus a smaller tipped-in leaf. A beautiful penmanship practice book, this slender volume includes 6 pages showing the same word or stroke, hypnotically practiced over and over ("unon," "by," "manner," "love"). She also practices the letters A, B, C, E, and her name, Mary, until she deftly progresses to long poems. Boards just a little rubbed and scuffed, otherwise fine.
