In his years with the Journal, he acquired a large collection of pen art. Upon his death, half of his collection was donated to the New York City Public Library and the remainder of the collection remained with the Zaner-Bloser Company where it remained stored until it was acquired by Mike Sull on behalf of IAMPETH. The exhibition will include phenomenal Penman’s Art Journal cover art, engrossing art, flourishing, penmanship, broad-pen as well as drawn alphabets, lessons in business writing, Engrosser’s script, Old English, line art illustration and much more.
