This is a copy of the Gettysburg Address, you can visit the link below to view a larger version. Other than the official header text at the top, it is handwritten. I find it interesting how much handwriting has changed over time as well typography. Many of my current high school students can't even read cursive handwriting. We had a love job and the client wrote all the text in cursive. I was amazed how many of my students couldn't read the clients handwriting to interpret what was needed for the job.
