I love the hand writing of this time period. We have many family letters from the mid victorian era and the perfect line of their script is like art in itself, the patience to make it. I don't think they even teach 'cursive' any longer, a dying art. I know that isn't what this post is about, but I couldn't' help but comment on it, as I truly love the old writing style.
