unknown calligrapher, San Francisco, ca. 1915.

This card was written at a time when business schools offered courses in penmanship. Heald’s Business College was founded in 1863 and operated at this location on Van Ness and Post from 1913 to 1983. The school was active under the name Heald College until 2015.

Calligraphers: have you used this shading technique? What’s your method? How do you get distinct bands of color?⁠
