Engrosser’s Script

Description

Learning the Engrosser’s Script from the Zanerian Manual as my mentor Mr. William Lilly coached me. Most people refer to this script as Copperplate, but I hope to show and explain the differences. Learning the lower-case and then the capitals in accordance how Mr. Lupfer taught Mr. Lilly, who in turn, taught me. This would be for beginners and those with experience with this script.
