Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Lettering' is a comprehensive visual survey of the evolution of writing in Western Europe, spanning from antiquity through the end of the 18th century. Curated by Hermann Degering, this extensive collection features 240 plates that document the transformation of scripts, from the monumental inscriptions of the Roman Empire to the elegant cursive hands of the Enlightenment. The work serves as an essential reference for students of paleography, typography, and the graphic arts, illustrating the formal development of the Latin alphabet across various mediums and epochs.The plates showcase a wide range of styles, including uncials, blackletter, humanistic scripts, and ornate decorative lettering used in both manuscripts and early printing. By presenting these examples in a systematic chronological sequence, the book highlights the cultural and aesthetic shifts that influenced European calligraphy and book design. 'Lettering' remains a valuable resource for artists, historians, and designers seeking to understand the historical foundations of modern typography and the enduring beauty of handwritten communication throughout Western history.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
