ABOUT

Austin Norman Palmer

Born at Fort Jackson, New York, in 1860, this well-known penman died in 1927. After studying at Gaskell's Business College in Manchester, NH, Palmer first worked in Indiana, Missouri and Iowa, before founding the A.N. Palmer Company in New York City to teach and practice penmanship. He introduced the Palmer Method of business penmanship, which soon became the most popular handwriting system in the United States. Author of these books:

• The Palmer Method of Business Writing (1915).
• Palmer's Penmanship Budget (1919).
• Portfolio of Ornate Penmanship [see also here].

Reference: In Spencerian Script and Ornamental Penmanship, Volume I (1989), by Michael R. Sull, we find a chapter on his life.
