I have always loved the writing back then and only 2 months ago bought myself a calligraphy set to try. I was lucky enough to see some of the old writing when I was working in an office just recently, I was processing data(certificates for "sales of land and properties )dated back to 1840+.I was overwhelmed with it all and the paper was still in quite good condition but very fragile.<br />Thank you and regards<br />Bron.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08476396777196897804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093666650139166859.post-6936798205427818942012-03-20T20:09:56.851-07:002012-03-20T20:09:56.851-07:00Craig.
