" ..the aim is to provide in the illustrations a fairly comprehensive survey of the best contemporary penwork, with examples of the greatest masters of all periods, briefly commented upon in the text.. This series should demonstrate far better than the written word the derivation of style and technique, and the main tendencies of present-day practice."
