Wow. Not only is it interesting to look at and admire the pretty handwriting, but it is a great stock image. I like it very much. :)

Isn't it? And this was obviously an artisan writing the bill - I don't think any of us in this century write beautifully at all!

one of the cureses of technology...and impatience. many no longer care what there words look like so long as they can be written down quickly then forgotten. can you imagine any of Shakespeare's plays being preformed on stage in full costume with no one speaking to each other but all looking down at there hands and texting back and forth to each other? can you imagine reading Shakespeare as nothing more than a series of text massages?
