Sigh.Ornate Pictorial Calligraphy: Instructions and Over 150 Examples (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) Book Information:Īrmony in flourishing is the same as in love. I guess they don’t want anyone to go around ordering a set of handsome design cards for only $0.35/dozen. This last page was completely deleted in the Modern book. I guess it makes the word ‘Beauty’ easier to read, but I can’t think why else they chose to edit only that one flourish and not the others. On the left, the large flourish was flipped from the original. Both are crisp and beautiful and easy to read. How I wish I can still send in $1 for a 22x28in print of Zaner’s flourished eagle. Similarly on this page, the ads for prints and artwork has been edited out. Which makes sense, as these items are not available anymore and may be confusing to the modern reader. and you can see they edited out the parts about using the Zanerian penholder and nib. For examples, here on left is the Modern and on the right is the Original. The two books are almost identical except for a few differences. You can still find it at Scranton Uni’s store for $25 along with other amazing books. On the right is the original 1951 book printed by the Zaner Bloser company (the company EA Lupfer worked for) which the book on the left is a reprint of, so let’s call it the Original. In fact it is the book that got me interested in pointed pen calligraphy. You can buy it for about $8 on Amazon, and is an absolutely amazing book to own. ![]() On left is EA Lupfer’s Ornate Pictorial Calligraphy reprinted by Dover. So today I’d like to post comparisons between two wonderful books.
