Copperplate , or English round hand , is a style of calligraphy calligraphic writing, using a sharp pointed pen nib nib instead of the flat nib used in most calligraphic writing. Its name comes from the fact that the copybooks from which students learned it were printed from etched copper plates. ref http www.yourdictionary.com copperplate copperplates definition 4 ref Copperplate script was prevalent in the 19th century, but was used as early as in the 16th century in Europe. As a result, the term copperplate is mostly used to refer to any old fashioned, tidy handwriting. This style of calligraphy is different from that produced by angled nibs in that the thickness of the stroke is determined by the pressure applied when writing, instead of nib angle in relation to the writing surface. All copperplate forms minuscules, majuscules, numbers, and punctuation are written at a letter slant of 55 degrees from the horizontal. ref Winters, Eleanor Mastering Copperplate A Step by Step Manual for Calligraphers. Watson Guptill, NY, 1989 ref In Australia in the 1980s, the state of Victoria Australia Victoria prescribed a new form of handwriting which lacked the loops and curious capital letter forms that appear in standard cursive to be taught to children in government schools. This copperplate is sometimes understood to mean the old fashioned cursive. Fact date February 2007 Americans are familiar with Copperplate chiefly because it is the style in which the body of the United States Declaration of Independence is printed. ref cite web url http www.thenewatlantis.com publications the formation of character title The Formation of Character author David Skinner work The New Atlantis accessdate 28 May 2010 ref See also Round hand References reflist European calligraphy Category Penmanship Category Calligraphy ... more details

Goudy foundry American Type Founders foundries Mergenthaler Linotype Company Linotype Copperplate Gothic is a typeface designed by Frederic W. Goudy and released by the American Type Founders ATF in 1901. While termed a Gothic a metonym for sans serif , the face has small glyph ic serif s that act to emphasize the blunt terminus of vertical and horizontal strokes. The typeface shows an unusual combination of influences the glyphs are reminiscent of stone carving, the wide horizontal axis is typical of Victorian era Victorian display types, yet the result is far cleaner and leaves a crisp impression in letterpress or offset printing . The typeface is most often used in stationery, for social printing, and is classically seen acid etched into glass on the doors of law offices, banks and restaurants.

- Harsola copperplate
orphan date April 2010 The origin of the Rajput s has been one of the most speculated topic in Indian history. The Harsola copperplate grants of 949 CE are one of the most important documents that shed light on origin of the Paramara dynasty, and hence on the origin of Rajputs . They establish that The Paramaras started out as feudatory of the Rashtrakuta s of Manyakheta . They belonged to the same kula family as the Rashtrakutas. This establishes that the legend of the agni kunda origin came much later.
