If you look at the earlier samplers you will see different lettering styles, even some with letters missing. The early Latin alphabet only had 23 letters and Old English was strongly influenced by the Romans.<br /><br />The "W" wasn't used, "U" and "V" and "J" and "I" were interchangeable. The J began to have its own distinctive look around 1820. Sometimes you would see the "Q" worked as a reversed "P". The "Z" was often just left out since it was seldom used.<br /><br /><br /><br />HTH! :)ArchangelDeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00470693171781707533noreply@blogger.com
