Penmanship Class Sign Up Sheet, 1879

Chambers, J. J.

About this Item

Good. A beautifully written advertisement for a course in penmanship to be given in November of 1879. Document measures 7 ¾" x 12 ½". 1pp folded multiple times. Docketed on verso, content reads: "Writing Article - Class will meet at the Bethel School Course Nov. 8 1879." Document has moderate soiling and a 1" tear along a fold. The word "Penmanship" is written at the top of the document and is adorned with flourishes, leaves, and flowers. The lessons were to be held at the Bethel School; we haven't done enough research to determine which state the class was located in. The instructor writes in pretty purple ink: "J. J. Chambers announces to the ladies and gentlemen of this community that he will give a thorough course of instruction in penmanship provided sufficient encouragement be given. Time, sin evenings. Terms $1.00 in advance. No. of lessons 12." This announcement is followed by more flourishes and a list of names written by eager students.
