TRAJAN'S COLUMN TWOa reference to pre-history; Trajan's column, with its superb
capitals, and modifications of this; Charlemagn; Gothic script
(which is invariably and unilluminstingly compared to Gothic
architectures); and, with a feeling of relief, the Renaissance.
Jokes about the English 17th century writing masters follow, amusing but
tangential, and then the 20c and the italic revival. It is not
a service to the 'cause' to repeat this piece of special plead-
ing indefinitely. Imagine a reader who had read Fairbank and
wished to study Jartle: neither Mr Blunt nor Mr West
would substantially advance his knowledge.
However, with this general ressurection in mind, let us con-
sider the books or their merits. Of Sweet Roman Hand Mr Blung
writes: 'The object of this book is to advocate a general re-
vival of the italic hand today'. He presents his case with an
excellent lightness: lightness in the sense of 'clarity' and
'not heavy'. Many of his illustrations are of the writing of
notable British monarchs, soldiers, and men-of-letters: Charles
II and Cromwell, Addison, and Sir Joshua Reynolds, right- and left-
handed Nelson, and so on. This attractive feature is not shared
with the other books reveiwed here.
One mush compliment Mr. Blunt on the close relationship of
text and illustration. Mr. Aubrey West's Written by Hand
unfortunately is deficient in this matter. A typical page -
bound to discourage the newcomer - offers this: on p.20 there
are references to 'Caroline (sic) minuscule', 'the half-uncial',
and 'Gothic script'; facing are illustrations of Littera.
