70 2660 Calligraphy Pauw J 1730 1797 70 2660 Calligraphy Pauw J 1730 1797 70/2660 [Calligraphy]. Pauw, J. (1730-1797). "Door Jan Pauw Schoolmeester en Voorsanger te Oosterleek 1750". Calligraphed manuscript in pen and black ink (title-p. also in red and grey ink), (16) leaves (incl. first blank), recto only, contemp. brown marbled wrappers, 32x40 cm. - Vertical fold throughout; occas. sl. frayed (incl. wrappers); backwr. dam. = The first of a series of five beautifully calligraphed albums, containing some spectacular calligraphed leaves and capitals. Jan Pauw is listed in 1745 as member of the Genootschap der Mathematische wetenschappen (onder de spreuk: een onvermoeide arbeid komt alles te boven"), and was a schoolmaster in various places in the province of Overijssel. Other than that not much is known about him, but as can be concluded from this and the following 4 albums, he certainly deserves a place in the strong tradition of Dutch calligraphy and may possibly have been trained by one of the famous writing masters of the first half of the 18th cent.
