  • A look at a fascinating school book from the early 19th century. The beautiful penmanship is from a boy aged just ten years old.

    I am all for technology and typing, but I think humanity lost something when society no longer writes this beautifully.

      No. No we didn't. Text should be easily legible. I feel awful for the children that were subjected to this train-wreck they call a school textbook.

      James Rowe A train-wreck? Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course. I would make this comment though ~ that if this is difficult for some people to read it’s just through not having much experience of calligraphy. I’ve heard that in America children are taught only to print. Here in the UK, cursive handwriting starts young, or at least it did in my schooling. I have no problem at all reading this, to me it is easily legible. Apart from it having a clearly very fine aesthetic, I get the sense that this 10 year old boy took great pride in trying to attain this aesthetic. It’s certainly not a train-wreck to me.

    It is amazing how an object, like this school book, can immortalize a person. You may not know who your ancestor was as a person or who he was to you but he survives in memory through that book and the writing in it's pages. In your memory, even how little you know of him, he still lives.

    Little did Rob Marshall know that one day his handwriting would leave people from all over the world awestruck. Thank you so much for taking the TIME to share with us this wonderful glimpse into the past, Helen! It makes me wonder what we will leave behind.

    I refuse to believe that a little boy could have such beautiful hand writing. I am EXTREMELY jealous right now. On another hand, I love these pointer videos. They are my absolute favorite. There's something about the sound it makes when it hits paper. Either way, thanks for the video! :)

    Rewatching my favorites here in 2022. Excellent and talented work.
    I’m in my 40s and my hand writing was NEVER that beautiful!! So very neat. What a lovely treasure.

  • @DonnaASMR
    @DonnaASMR Před 11 lety +2

    This is absolutely delightful as always! I'm so glad you decided to make new videos! You're definitely one of my favourite ASMRtists and you've inspired me to do my own videos! Thank you so much!

  • @thatoneasmrfanlady
    @thatoneasmrfanlady Před 8 lety +4

    Absolutely amazing. Certainly not any 10 year old from recent generations. Wow. Just wow.

  • @WhisperDoor
    @WhisperDoor Před 11 lety +1

    Whooooa---nice sounds and images! I love the gloves and the sound of the leaves as they are being tapped. The historicity of your book is so interesting: how many miles have I traveled in a post chaise and how old is the earth, calculated from Genesis, not according to geological evidence. Fascinating and lovely ASMR all at once. Thank you, SoundSculptures! Best, WD

    With old objects like this, I always wonder if the original creator realized that people would still find it interesting so many years later.

    I was saving it for a rainy day :) I sometimes do that with my favorites. I'll store away one or two videos if I'm not sure they'll ever make another- and then watch it when the itch gets too crazy to ignore.

  • @kiwiwhispers
    @kiwiwhispers Před 11 lety

    Ahh, the magic pointer. Bliss. That book is remarkable. The side view actually reminded me of the grain in wood, how you can see all the layers and tell the age of it - back from whence it came :) Nice gloves, you suit them.

  • @IIllytch321nonadinfinitum

    That delicate pointer use destroys my mind, I love it.

    A book binder can fix the spine of the book. They're hard to find and a little pricey but they'll make the book brand new looking

  • @MMBNMalternateaccoun
    @MMBNMalternateaccoun Před 11 lety +1

    It's so you don't damage the item unintentionally. Like when people sell fine ACTUAL jewelry or handle priceless items all the time they use gloves to both keep finger prints off of the item and so the oils from human hands don't damage the item.

    Agree. Reading, studying and playing video games would make you more intelligent and talented than just Reading and studying. However... when you substitute studying with just playing video games/watching TV you are at a loss - and thats where we are today.

    I think quite a few neat things have come from the advances in technology due to gaming like better and stronger computers and other such things. But I do agree on some levels that over the course of time education towards children has become increasingly lacking of discipline compared to what it used to be.
