| Summary | "Elements of Show Card Writing" by John H. De Wild is an instructional guide focused on the art of creating effective show cards, published in the early 20th century. The book is intended as an educational resource for those involved in advertising, particularly through visual displays in retail environments. With a practical approach, it explores the fundamentals of lettering and design, providing insights into how to write show cards that effectively convey business messages. The content of the book is structured into a series of lessons designed to teach readers the fundamentals of lettering, various alphabets, and layout techniques.
