17th Century French Alphabet with Flowers


I photographed a page from one of my books on antique alphabets. Some of the letters are repeated and some are omitted. So this is just a sampling but still quite lovely, isn't it? I adore the flowers behind the letters, don't you?

I do love these calligraphy letters, & as you pointed out, they look wonderful with the flowers behind them. You seem to have a treasure trove of antique books to draw from.

...all is grace!

Anita ~ the cabin on the creek -- Anita, I do have a wonderful collection of books that give me much pleasure. You will see that alphabet again in today's post. Have a great weekend and enjoy the cooler weather today.
