I love looking through this encyclopedia. It contains plates and information about a lot of interesting topics (https://quod.lib.umich.edu/d/did/title_plate/W.html)

But these are the plates I wanted to show you:

Very, very, very cool!!!

Thanks so much for sharing, that is really fun! I've been increasing in curiosity about quills and there's nothing like finding a source from that time.

And the examples of the various scripts is just super-bonus!

Thanks again
Andrew

Thank you for sharing the link to this encyclopedia. I love the lettering plates, but there is so much more to explore. Hmm...laundry and sweeping will just have to wait their turn  ::)
