Handwriting of the 19th century

 As I was in Barcelona in February 2024, completely by chance I saw an exhibition of handwritten musical scores in Palau de la Musica Catalana. I can't even read a music score, but I took a few pictures anyway because there were some titles etc. in normal writing. Some of them are dated.

All this is written in a normal writing style of the time. Very likely a pen with a metal nib was used, a very pointed nib, which would produce a very thin line , but it could also produce a slightly thicker line when pressed. Only the lines going down or from left to right cold be made thicker, if the nib was going up, the line had to be very thin. 

This was actually the way I still remember being taught. Only the earliest lessons, soon the ball pointed pens took over. But still it makes me see how a script like this was written. 

I guess it was just a fleeting exhibition, but anyway, it was there.
