A textbook on lettering and sign painting
A trade instruction manual on lettering and sign painting issued in 1902 by the International Correspondence Schools of Scranton, Pennsylvania, for apprentice sign writers studying by mail. The plates run complete alphabets stroke by stroke — blocky gothics on layout grids, fat-serifed romans, italics, and pen-drawn blackletter minuscules — giving designers ready letterform models and construction guides.
