Nice examples of fine penmanship ILS. I particularly like the style on the ship cover. And even though not yours, it is interesting to see another Payen cover. As I mentioned, I never heard of these until Billw2 posted one.

Well, I didn't find any penmanship on covers in my collection on a par with these recent posts. But I suppose I should post something: A US Scott #10 on prices current for commodities in Savannah Georgia:

The only cursive writing I've done in the past 30 years is my signature. Cursive is obsolete.

Two more I've had for a some time but just converted to jpeg. The first one has the large scroll manuscript writing that really catches my attention.

Not too sure what is going on in the lower left: Maybe an "F" and "D".


I bought this mainly for the "P"
