Cross Writing Exercise 1, words beginning with the letter "a"

These are provided in alphabetical order for the sake of making them slightly easier to read. In addition, it will allow transcribers to train their eyes by comparing the letterforms and seeing the similarities and differences.

Zoom in to see with greater detail. You can also copy the image to your desktop and view it there, if that is needed.

Example

polygon #234, Col602_53-165-494-2.jpg
circa 1828

text: "a most charming excursion it was"


The last word has been written to the end of the page. It therefore has to be guessed or otherwise inferred from the context. The letters are visible, but they are difficult to see.

polygon #235, Col602_53-165-490-1-rotate-2.jpg
circa 1834-40?




polygon #236, Col602_53-165-494-3.jpg
