Society for Penmanship

The Society for Penmanship was an organization dedicated to promoting the art of beautiful handwriting, especially during the 19th and early 20th centuries. It aimed to encourage high standards in penmanship through competitions, exhibitions, and educational activities. Members included teachers, students, and enthusiasts who valued penmanship as both a practical skill and an art form. The society helped to improve handwriting practices before the widespread use of typewriters and digital text, emphasizing penmanship as a reflection of personal discipline, aesthetic taste, and professionalism.
