Description |
English: Handwritten in album: Vertical writing PH Coll 49.90 Vertical writing was introduced in the late 1800s as a better method of writing than the slanted writing that was previously taught. Experts claimed that studies had shown that children who used slanted writing had to assume a position that was damaging to the body and spine. Eventually vertical writing was also criticized and abandoned.
