Another thing I always keep an eye out for are old books on penmanship. The pages below are all from the Daniel T.Ames Notebook from the early 1860's. These are just a few samples from one of the books shown in its entirety at Iampeth ~ The International Association of Master Penman, Engrossers, and Teachers of Handwriting. There is a wonderful rare books section on the site where one can look through dozens of hard to find books and see gorgeous samples of ornamental penmanship, alphabets, calligraphy etc.
