Keep Calm and Carry On

This slogan originated in Great Britain around 1939 as it faced the peril of WWll. I thought it might be appropriate for these times of uncertainty.

@InkyFingers
Oh, I remembered you wanted to see the pen and such for these submissions.
Penholder:  9 1/2 inch Magnusson
Nib:  Gillott 604ef
ink:  McCaffery's Penman's Black
paper:  Staple premium White Laser paper, 25% cotton, 32 lb (120g/m2)

I pretty much use this paper and ink for all my practice work.

Thanks.
Of course, that means that I'll have to come up with something else for the next exchange, which is a wonderful idea. I'll sign up for every single person who participates in this exchange, regardless of number. We'll get through this together.
Edit:  I've thought about this overnight and have decided to make this my exchange submission for the Quarantine exchange. Every participant will get an original. Further, I'm going to make this piece a postcard, so that as the pieces go around the world, those that see the cards in transit will also receive the thought. I hope that's okay with everyone.
