History of Handwriting Analysis

Aristotle observed the similarities between handwriting and personality over 2000 years ago. The first real observations though were in 1622 by an Italian professor who published a book that analyzed character and handwriting. Later in the late 1800’s several books on handwriting analysis were published by Abbe Michon. Later his successor, Crepieux Jamin, continued his work on handwriting analysis. In the 1890’s Ludwig Klages furthered the area of handwriting analysis with his theories of rhythm and "form level". Handwriting analysis continues today and is a very important part of forensics.

  2. Great research! You might want to consider breaking up the chunk of text with bullets in chronological order, it just makes it easier to read :) Otherwise, really good job.

  3. Intresting, my only suggestion is that you state that Ludwig Klages developed theories of rythem and "form level" however you don't really explain what they are, albeit they aren't the main part of the research, but still i think it may be helpful if you just breifly told what they were. Don't take this as a negative, you really did a nice job with information spacing, visually and infomationaly its great.
