Henry Fisher's 1869 Penmanship Practice with Great Word Combinations! pretty vase Nailed together of scrap wood

Nailed together of scrap wood salvaged from old crates

pulsing through a sea of blue and yellow painted dots

as much as anything else in the world

maybe as a cloche over a head of garlic

Henry Fisher's 1869 Penmanship Practice with Great Word Combinations! pretty vase Nailed together of scrap woodI've rarely met a penmanship practice notebook I didn't like, but think this is an especially nice one, filled by a Henry Fisher in 1869, under to watch of his tutor W. J. Sleiffer and I believe from Pennsylvania. What I especially love about this one is the repetition of consistently good, juicy words, and especially the pairs of words side by side, usually two to a page: Valentine Vermilion; Yearning Yawning ; Machine Manikin; Teaching Treachery,
