Sobre este artículo
France. Good with no dust jacket. 1679. Ephemera. On offer is a classic example of Ronde script from 17th century France. Ronde script appeared in France at the end of the 16th century, and was popularized by writing masters such as Louis Barbedor in the 17th century. This style of writing was still in use (with some modifications) until the 20th century because it was used in French school manuals to teach the basics of cursive writing. It was also commonly used by the scribes of the French Ministry of Finance until right after World War II, which gave this style the name of écriture ronde finnancière ('round financial writing'). The classic French rondes was also very present in the work of 18th century type founder and calligrapher Nicholas Gando, which has been revived for the digital medium by way of the French 111 font From context, there are references to the king, at that time Louis XI, who holds the record as the longest serving monarch in Europe, from 1643 to 1715). The letter bears several signatures including Germain and Jaroin as well as a stamped seal. For a collector of good representations of 17th century scripts and handwriting, this is an excellent example of the scribes craft. This double-sided manuscript measures 8.0 inches by 5.5 inches and is 100% complete. The paper is in generally good condition. There are several small holes in the paper and some wear around the edges. The handwriting is difficult to read. ; Manuscripts; 8"x5.5"; 2 pages; Signed by Author .
