The New Spencerian Compendium - Plate 2

[Rednaxela]

Dear all,

 

This is a scan of Plate 2 from The New Spencerian Compendium. I found it in this ZIP package (269.9MB) at archive.org.

 

 

What I love about it is that letter form wise, it shows in one overview pretty much everything that is being taught in the preceding pages, including the basic strokes and letter heights as well as widths.

 

Unfortunately the JPEG compression applied is very strong and I often struggle to look through the added distortion, especially around the slant lines.

 

Does anyone of you perhaps know of a clearer version of this plate?

 

Thanks in advance!

Thank you Cellmatrix.

 

It looks like it was created from the same set of scans though. The image quality of the plate seems identical.

 

Appreciate the tip nonetheless!

I really like this book too.

Here is a scan of Plate 2 from the 1974 Japanese reprint. Print it out at 300dpi.

Brilliant Pariah, thank you so much for sharing this!

 

Interesting source by the way, didn't know there was a 1974 Japanese reprint.

 

In any case thank you once again, really appreciated!

Someone on the Flourish Forum wanted the capital pages scanned at 1200 dpi, so I rescaned Plate 2 at 1200 dpi and scanned the Capital Pages. Click on the images and download the originals from Flickr.
