W. 46th and Broadway, New York City (1944)
Photo: unknown

Found it saved in my cloud drive from 2012. I did a reverse image search to see if I could find the photographer/source. It's been posted many times, but no one seems to have any info other than the date (but they could have got that from the theatre marquees). I must have saved it from a post on the Dangerous Minds blog.

When it comes to lettering manuals (https://letterformarchive.org/news/art-of-lettering-instruction/), it’s hard to beat Michael Harvey. His illustrations are as charming as they are instructive. Attached are pages from Creative Lettering (1985) and Calligraphy in the Graphic Arts (1988).

What’s missing from the calligraphy examples here, though, is the movement of the hand he shows in the first drawing image. Anyone know a great illustration that clearly compares #lettering (drawn letters) to #calligraphy (written letters)?
