I wrote this in a "Freedom of the District" volume which accompanied a large detailed scroll
Although the scroll was intricate and took me around 2 days to complete, the book entry was far more difficult because I had to write it in an existing volume with no possibility of a mistake! I have since done a few similar entries and they are a nightmare to do. In this case the page size was very small necessitating an x height of about 3mm
Thanks for your comments.

I remember grounding a Mitchell no. 6 nib even smaller for this job.
