Medieval Meets Baroque Illuminated Alphabet with Rhymes: Art Of Fine Hand Lettering

Art is never static - it evolves. So does calligraphy. More than millennia later, calligraphy has adapted from the old writing tradition into new styles, with modern or traditional writing instruments and inks. In the postmodern era, we have no boundaries on how to stretch and fuse artistic concepts. In this Illuminated Alphabet book, Gothic and Baroque lettering styles create a delightful fusion. Medieval style illumination with illustrations of magical and mythical creatures makes letters come alive. Hand-written witty rhymes show examples of calligraphy hands. The purpose of this book is to provide fun and inspiration to readers of any age. Perhaps this would be their first step towards learning the art of fine hand lettering.
