Engrossed Diploma from 1912

(1/1)

Erica McPhee:
I was at a restaurant in Naples, Florida waiting for a table when this caught my eye in the lobby. A real live engrossed diploma from 1912 in the wild!!!

I was absolutely thrilled and glad the wait for our table turned into a fabulous 15 minutes. Wish I could have taken better pictures but it was very dark in there and people (including my family) were looking at me like I was nuts.  ;D

AnasaziWrites:
Wow. Fantastic.

Aries M:
The certificate you found was far more ornate and older, but just so you know.. your not the only one who gets the looks  ;D

Looking at the signatures at the bottom, if these persons were not (as I suppose) trained penmen, one is led to believe that education back then included serious - and effective- penmanship training.

@Aries M  Good find!  ;D

@Vintage_BE - absolutely! Some of the old texts are SO serious!
