Henry Fisher's 1869 Penmanship Practice with Great Word Combinations! pretty vase maybe as a cloche over

maybe as a cloche over a head of garlic

great on a desk as as a paperweight or perched atop a pile of books or magazines

as much as anything else in the world

make the form feel earthy and organic

Henry Fisher's 1869 Penmanship Practice with Great Word Combinations! pretty vase maybe as a cloche overI've rarely met a penmanship practice notebook I didn't like, but think this is an especially nice one, filled by a Henry Fisher in 1869, under to watch of his tutor W. J. Sleiffer and I believe from Pennsylvania. What I especially love about this one is the repetition of consistently good, juicy words, and especially the pairs of words side by side, usually two to a page: Valentine Vermilion; Yearning Yawning ; Machine Manikin; Teaching Treachery,
