Business and ornamental penmanship together, as an instant download.
Fleming’s Self-Instructor in Business & Ornamental Penmanship (1906) by C. A. Fleming teaches both hands — the practical business hand and the ornamental hand — by self-instruction. The dual-purpose penmanship book for the clerk and the artist alike.
Inside this 1906 handbook:
C. A. Fleming’s 1906 system builds the hand from the ground up: muscular-movement drills, then business penmanship. Calligraphers and lettering artists still mine books like this for flourishes and letterforms no modern manual teaches. Penmen kept manuals like this for decades, returning to the drills whenever the hand went soft.
