I know what calligraphy is, but just wondered what its function was in the White House.

Wikipedia says the WH calligrapher is in charge of writing the place cards for State Dinners and official pronouncements. Well worth $100K, I’m sure.

Which could just as easily be created with a simple calligraphic font found for free on the internet.

Fontspace free calligraphy fonts

I use them all the time.

Another Federal employee could do it in his spare time with a computer.
The Federales never computerize anything that will eliminate jobs. There are at least 500,000 Federal jobs that could be rationalized and eliminated by computerization same as has been done in the private sector
