MIRROR WRITING. Signed letter. Paris, May 11, 1755. 1 p. 1/2 - Lot 343
MIRROR WRITING. Signed letter. Paris, May 11, 1755. 1 p. 1/2 in-4. Uncommon handwritten letter written in specular script, i.e. with the aid of a mirror, to render it illegible to those who did not possess one, i.e. most people at the time. It is addressed to M. Duchesne, Provost of the King's Buildings at Versailles, and contains a favorable reply to an invitation, etc. Armorial wax seal preserved. Leonardo da Vinci was particularly fond of specular handwriting.
