Aristotle says, that to become an able man...Dictates of that Spirit which cannon lie. June 2. W. Clark Scripsit.", Original copperplate engraving from The Universal Penman, a 1743 handwriting anthology by George Bickham, English master scribe and engraver.

This specimen of amazing craftsmanship was cut directly - without benefit of tracings - into the metal, and in reverse, to make the printed result readable.
