Timeline of Penmen and Penwomen and their work

Listed here are those with published work in the area of penmanship,
and whose work I have examples of.

Certainly there are many hundreds if not thousands of people not included, and
you are invited to help build this page with items from your collection or from a
source that is not copyrighted or that is available for academic research.

Below are original handwritten items, not items printed in books.
While there are many books by these same people, examples of
their own handwriting remains largely unexplored and deserves
greater academic attention.
