Forgotten Arts








A little retrospective of calligraphy through the ages with particular emphasis on the elegant appeal of the decadent swash, care of Francesco Moro c.1560-70, Giulantonio Hercolani 1574, the mighty George Bickman's Universal Penman 1741, and the modern day John Stevens. All this plus many many, more examples to be found in St. Brides library off Fleet Street which has a great late night opening on a Wednesday night until 9pm.
