  1. Un saludo desde Santiago de Chile... feliz de encontrarlos y saludar a toda la comunidad de TFPN hispanohablantes. Somos Claudia e Isabel, comenzando con la aventura de emprender con una penshop, en primera instancia on-line y con el tiempo si nos va bien esperamos poder abrir una tienda física donde todos ustedes serán bienvenidos. El próximo 4 de Noviembre vamos a inaugurar nuestra tienda online , (aunque por el momento está funcionando como marcha blanca en www.penshop.cl) en un evento para amantes de las plumafuente. Elegimos esa fecha puesto que nos interesa unir a todos los chilenos y a quien se quiera unir a celebrar el día de la pluma fuente en Chile (fountainpenday)... Nuestra idea es seguir organizando un evento cada año el primer viernes de noviembre y esperamos que poco a poco se vayan sumando los entusiastas que quieran participar. En fin... Les dejamos un cordial saludo, les pedimos que visiten nuestro sitio web y que dejen sugerencias y comentarios... Recuerden, estamos en www.penshop.cl Un abrazo cordial y entintado!
  2. In the 16th century the angular Chancery hand which developed in Italy (often referred to today under the generic name of Italic) was, in Spain, made more rounded (under the influence of the Redondilla mercantile hand?) and so a new b=astard hand: the Spanish, was begotten. This hand continued to be used into the 20th century (I believe) alongside Inglesa/English Roundhand. I have scanned this set of plates, printed from steel engravings, of D. Juan Folguera y Plandolit's calligraphy, which I think accompanied a book written by him. They were published in 1853, according to the wrapper they came in. In plate 1, the slant is 60 or 61 degrees and the angle of the nib 35 degrees. The height of the minuscules is approx. 8mm and the caps. 16mm. When writing this hand, the paper is tilted to the left so that it is parallel with your arm as you may see below. This hand was written with a straight cut broad edged nib and today you could use a Wm. Mitchell Round-Hand pen, for example.
