Inside this 1903 instructor:
The 1903 show card man earned his living with speed and consistency, and this book trains both: brush handling for card work drilled until the hand obeys. Show card writers, retail advertisers, and sign painters will recognize letterforms still in use on retail signage today. Practice with a show card brush and poster paint — the one-stroke alphabets come alive at card size.
