A simple type of Spanish capital Script letter is shown in [201], while a corresponding small letter, redrawn from a Spanish source, is illustrated in [202]. It should be noted in the latter figure that the three lower lines are further removed from the ordinary writing hand and are more interesting than the letters in the three upper lines.
The French artists and engravers were, as has been said, among the first to appreciate the qualities of Script, and used it in many of their engraved title-pages, especially during the reigns of Louis xv. and xvi. Figure [199] shows a set of French Script capitals of the time of Louis XV., highly flourished but more formal than those shown in [201].
A form of Script very nearly allied to the Italic was frequently used for the lettering on headstones and wall tombs in the churches and churchyards of England. Figure [203], in which the lettering is taken from a tomb in Westminster Abbey, illustrates this style of Script.
