"A System of Easy Lettering" by John Howard Cromwell is a practical guidebook on lettering techniques written in the late 19th century. The book provides a systematic approach to creating clear and aesthetically pleasing letters, catering to artists, sign writers, and anyone interested in improving their lettering skills. Cromwell's work serves as a resource for those seeking to master the craft of lettering through practical methods. The content of the book outlines a simple technique whereby the writer divides a surface into manageable squares, allowing for more precise letter formation in ink or paint. Illustrated with numerous examples, the guide includes various styles of lettering designed to assist readers in executing their designs effectively. Cromwell emphasizes the importance of erasing pencil lines to achieve clean finishes. By breaking down the process step by step, the book aims to make lettering accessible to beginners and help them develop their artistic skills with confidence.
