Johann Merken Creator of Liber Artificiosus Alphabeti Maioris (ca. 1782). His designs were engraved by Heinrich Coentgen. I quote: The first and only edition (published in two parts) of this rarely complete calligraphy book included fifty six engraved plates. Besides the elaborate alphabets there are example writing styles, portraits, silhouettes (Lavater purloined one of the plates - not shown - for his 'Physiognomy'), monograms, calendars, fantasy geometrical and architectural figures, emblems, genealogical tables and ornamental letters. Scans: I, II, Scans: III, IV, Scans: V, VI.
