More Big and Little Pixels (Simple Picture Shows 0bama BC is Bogus)
Addendum.
"When one examines the signatures on the 0bama abstract, why is it that instead of the 1961 era black ink business pen in a thin crisp signature, that instead the signatures are velvet smooth and wide like a felt tip pen of a much later date........... as those pens and ink structure gels did not appear until..."
"It is not the same font, but the same pen which is questionable on three different signatures and dates."

Now THAT'S interesting. Seems like the forgers(s) left another clue.
Looking at the "O" and "b" in "Obama" you can see a line weight variation depending on where the pen was during her stroke in forming the letters. This line weight change implies to me that she most likely used an actual nib-style pen with liquid ink. At that time, it would probably have been an "ink cartridge" type pen with a slightly squared nib to get that line width variation. She was probably right-handed to achieve those precise effects in forming the letters I mentioned.
In the early 60's, there was a HUGE variety of ink pen nib styles to choose from...wide, narrow, squared, round, ball, etc., depending on your calligraphy talents.
Also, in those times, many people still envied being able to get that "fat-then-thin" character style, because it harked back to even earlier times when a fine, "Spencerian hand" was much admired and strictly taught in schools ....with an inkwell in every desk. She was probably taught to write that way, as I was, dipping a pen into an inkwell.
Nope. I see nothing wrong with the pen/ink/line-weight style, IMHO.
HOWEVER, whether it's Ann's signature, or whether she actually signed that particular page, at that particular date.....well, that's the big question, isn't it?
That’s a very good point. Are there any FReepers out there who are handwriting experts ?
