Deseret_cursive_examples_based_on_the_Mormon_bishops_meeting_minutes_recorded_by_George_D_Watt.svg


Summary

Description
English: These are a bunch of different words from some meeting minutes recorded by George D. Watt, which after the meeting was concluded he sent to Watt's office, and are now sitting in the LDS Church archives.

I vectorized certain words in that 1854 document. All of the words and how they are written come from the document. I intended to show some of the more unorthodox things that could be done in the cursive form of the Deseret alphabet: as being written with 𐑆 hanging on for dear life to the end of 𐐰, etc. This image is meant to be used with the companion image File:Early Deseret cursive lineup based on a document written by its creator George D Watt.svg

The style of the script is based on an 1854 document in the LDS church archives:

  • University of Deseret papers: Board of regents minutes, 1853 April-1854 December. Church History Library, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah (Library identifier: CR 1234 1/b0023/f0017 for digital object @ https://history.lds.org )
