There’s an allure and intimacy to handwritten words, as though they can capture a part of humanity in each stroke, smear, and smudge, and allow us to peek into the thoughts, feelings, and aspirations of the author, beyond what the words themselves can convey.
This magic of handwriting can be seen through the extraordinary collection of the Brazilian author and publisher Pedro Corrêa do Lago, who for nearly 50 years has compiled thousands of handwritten letters, manuscripts, and music, as well as annotated photographs, documents, and drawings.
