George Bickham the Elder Was a Handwriting Specialist, but He Also

HIGHLIGHT Script, Roman and Italic 30 pt

George Bickham the Elder was a handwriting specialist, but he also produced mediocre portraits (“Sir Hugh Middleton’s Glory”) and political broadsides (“A genealogie of Anti-Christ: Oliver Cromwell Triumphant”). These pieces seem additionally to have ad- vertised his main line, the handwriting business, marked as they are in a range of scripts, from humanist to gothic, down—in the case of Cromwell as the Anti-Christ—to the devil- shaped flourishes. But what today appears idiosyncratic and demonstratively complex was in fact part of a standardization necessary for making and maintaining a global empire. English Round Hand was developed so that secretaries of all kinds could more easily decipher each other’s work; Bickham wrote handwriting manuals but also accounting textbooks. Even as writing became less “personal,” it remained an expression of power, both as a support for elite communication and as a visual sign of it. Bickham’s handwriting manuals themselves were not actually written, of course, but en- graved and then printed. As we rework each curve during digitization we add to the sum of processes embodied in the script, each a step further from handwriting itself. Bickham demonstrated skills that his hands possessed; the perfection of vectors available for purchase is on a different plane altogether. But it is just this tension between the personal and the perfect that gives a font like Mil- lionaire its meaning today: it is simultaneously handwriting, engraving and mathematical formula. It’s heirloom and disembodied, luxury and camp. It’s the writing that made em- pires great, and we’re selling it in bytes for less than £ 100.
