Second scroll for Coronation: HE Paul's county. Wording by Robert, calligraphy and gilding by me, goat parchment (same skin as previous scroll), logwood ink, Miniatum size, transfer gold, crow pen outline.
To my great annoyance, the picture of the whole scroll is poor, though you can see the gist of it: I was finishing just before packing and running out the door to catch a train, so I didn't take the time on the pictures. It looks lopsided, because I was shooting from an angle, trying to get the shine on the gold.
The closeup of the initial was good, and you can see the texture of the parchment well.
The large word KNOW is on purpose, not a scribal goof - it's modelled on a 16th c grant of arms from the English college of heralds, that doesn't use capital letters to start sentences, but uses large 'miniscule' letters instead. Proper names are capitalised though. In the photo I have in a book, there's no sign of periods to end sentences either but the photo may simply not show them.
Again, the slopey-ness of the text is from the angle of the picture, not in the original. Honest.
