[QUOTE="Roaring20s, post: 4508118, member: 17270"]Thanks for the input / insight! You made me look at this again and with a new eye. I did assume that it was written (larger) by hand, then thought photomechanically made smaller and reproduced for short-run printing. I had engraving stuck in my head. The ink is jet black and thick, ahh but not everywhere. Looking again in several areas, there are crossed "t"s and "f"s that the clearly show a darker crossed line. As for Beauchamp's signature, there is natural light and dark ink flow, and ... well I did not think it possible to write that small! The capital "B" is 1/16" tall and the lower case under 1/32" This is an insane outpouring of talent at a level I've never seen! I believe that you have hit the nail on the head! I will shoot some better images to illustrate your astute assumption.[/QUOTE]
