This edition maintains the original's comprehensive exploration of lettering history and technique, featuring over 400 instructional illustrations. Hewitt discusses the development of various scripts, the importance of the pen in letterform creation, and provides detailed guidance on materials and methods. [From front jacket flap] When this book was first published in 1930 it was at once acclaimed as the final statement on the subject. The Morning Post called it 'a work of the greatest beauty' whilst the Manchester Guardian described the author as 'the greatest living master of hand lettering'. Alas, he is no longer living, but his work survives him and his reputation remains undiminished, while the demand for his book is renewed with each generation of art students. Mr Hewitt is concerned not only with the history and skill of lettering, but also with its application to present needs.This new edition of Mr Hewitt's classic book should prove invaluable to all whose work or pleasure involves them with lettering or typographical design.…
