These are incredible! Did you compile this group just for Bibliodyssey, or is there and actual "Calligraphy Exhibition" going on somewhere. I'm also intrigued by comparing the lettering styles of so many different cultures.

Yes, there is an actual exhibition going on but no, it's nothing to do with me.
