That cursive is exactly what I was taught in school in Australia. I would say it is less ornate than Spencerian, even less ornate that its successor Palmerian. But they're all quite similar to the more modern eye. My teacher at the time, (history and French) could write perfect Copperplate on the chalkboard.


Looks also the same as I was taught in the U.S. -- though I couldn't pull it off nowadays.

My grandfather grew up in the rural Midwest and wrote with a very attractive calligraphic style a bit closer to Spencerian; my dad still does too.
