  18th Century Copperplate Handwriting
Copperplate evolved in the earliest part of the 18th century due to a need for an efficient commercial hand in England.
Two varieties of a new "copperplate" style became common: "round hand," the bolder of the two, was considered appropriate for business use, and "Italian," a lighter and narrower form, was considered the ladies' hand.
Learning 18th century copperplate handwriting is a matter of learning to write the capital letters (called majuscules by calligraphers and "upper case" by printers), the small letters (minuscules or "lower case"), as well as the numbers and a few symbols (shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4).
