Zanerian Manual 1924
As coloring fans ourselves, we couldn’t help but toss our hat into the ring. Earlier this week, we shared a University Archives coloring book and a Local History coloring book, but we’ve saved the best for last. Today’s coloring book features some gorgeous penmanship from the Zaner-Bloser, Inc. / Sonya Bloser Monroe Collection and the Horace G. Healey Collection, both preserved in our Helen Gallagher McHugh Special Collections. Featured at the end are works by Scranton’s own master penman P. W. Costello.
The pages in the book were created using images from the Library’s digital collections, which were digitized from original artwork, publications, and albums.

Please note: We’ve edited the images to increase their “colorability.” In many cases, this process obscured some of the incredible detail and shading in the original work. We encourage you to explore the master scans (and the many, many other items in our collections!) at www.scranton.edu/library/zanerbloser.
We hope you enjoy our book, and we can’t wait to see what colors you bring to our collections!

This was one of the textbooks used at the Zanerian College. The first 21 pages by E.A. Lupfer has the best instructions on Engrosser's Script available. First published as Zanerian Alphabets in 1895, it has been revised and reissued.

Study with Master Penman Bill Lilly, a member of the last graduating class of the Columbus Zanerian School of Penmanship in the 1950s. His outstanding work earned the rare status of having two gold seal certificates, one in script, the other in lettering. In its history, the school gave out only a handful of double certificates. In this video, Bill demonstrates Engrosser's Script. Upper and lower case letters, numbers, and punctuation marks are all analyzed and demonstrated, and flourished script is also included.
