The Palmer method of business writing : a series of self-teaching lessons in rapid, plain, unshaded, coarse-pen, muscular movement writing for use in all schools, public or private, where an easy and legible handwriting is the object sought; also for the home learner
A penmanship textbook by A. N. Palmer, published in New York and Chicago in 1915 for schools and home learners teaching easy, legible handwriting through self-guided lessons. Its pages show rows of practice strokes and drill exercises, plus photographs of seated writers in posture and arm-movement demonstrations and diagrams of a writing desk and arm positions. A designer might take the repeated looping strokes as a source for rhythmic border or pattern work, and the posture photographs as period studio portraits.
