词汇 spencerian script
词源
Spencerian script. Even as recently as 25 years ago penman- ship remained an important subject in American grammar schools, but the increased use of the typewriter and computer has made penmanship exercises almost obsolete. In those days of yesteryear, when a fine hand was a great social asset and ab­ solutely essential in conducting a business, one of the first American styles of calligraphy was that developed by Platt Rog­ ers Spencer (1800–64), a system based on precise slanted strokes marked with flourishes at the ends of words. Spencer taught classes in a log cabin on his Geneva, New York farm and lectured at various business schools and academies. His Spen­ cerian style, pop­u­lar­ized by a series of textbooks he wrote, greatly influenced ­early-­19th-­century American calligraphy, so much so that today the term Spencerian script is used by collec­ tors to describe the handwriting of his period and beyond.
