For Art Thursday, pages from the German book The Proper Art of Writing (1655). The full title is The Proper Art of Writing: a compilation of all sorts of capital or initial letters of German, Latin and Italian fonts from different masters of the noble art of writing. As you can see, they are often more interestingly intricate than they are legible!

Such fine work...and you're so right about intricacy vs. legibility!
And what a "Q"!
I have always admired calligraphy! I tried many times to master it, but being left handed I just couldn't get the hang of it. So I am content to smile at the beauty others create. :-)
