这是迄今为止这部著名商业艺术书籍的仅存完整版本

著名的雕刻家和书法家George Bickham在17世纪40年代首次编辑这部作品，取自他那个时代24位最好的书法家。今天，除了这个版本，几乎不可能再找到另一套完整版本，因为大多数现存的18世纪的副本缺少某些稀有的刻盘。然而，多佛的这个版本包含了比克汉雕刻的每一个刻盘，而且每一个都是从原作上复制出来的，非常清晰，所以这些现代刻盘实际上比大多数18世纪的原作还要好。

This is the only complete edition available of one of the most famous and most useful books of commercial art ever printed. George Bickham, a noted engraver and calligrapher, first compiled this work back in the 1740’s, from the best specimens of 24 of the leading calligraphers of his day. Unfortunately, Bickham published his work in 52 separate parts, over a period of eight years. In Bickham’s own day it was difficult to get a complete set of the Universal Penman; today, apart from this edition, it is virtually impossible, for most surviving 18th-century copies lack certain rare plates. This Dover edition, however, contains every plate which Bickham engraved, and each is reproduced from an original so remarkably clear that these modern plates are actually better than most 18th-century originals.
