The Declaration of Independence was authored by Thomas Jefferson, but Jefferson’s is not the classic handwriting on the copies familiar to most Americans. That belonged to Timothy Matlack (1736–1826), a Philadelphia brewer and master penman who served with distinction in the Revolution, sat at a court martial of Benedict Arnold, and penned copies of documents for General George Washington. In 1776, when the Continental Congress ordered the Declaration to be "fairly engrossed on parchment," the task fell to Matlack, whose script was compact but neat and legible—perfect for the first and most famous of American documents. Now you, too, can write that way. Has a full character set (and then some).* $39 | Order
