HORATIO NELSON

Nelson's handwriting with his left hand is fascinating.  He had to re-learn how to write after he lost his right arm in battle in 1797.  His writing became much more flowing and confident. On 29th September 1798, he celebrated his 40th birthday with the Ambassador of Naples and his beautiful young wife, Lady Emma Hamilton with a ball for 1,700 guests.  His life after that was going to change forever.  He was a national hero but his very public affair with Lady Hamilton scandalised the nation.
His handwriting is softer and less striving than his writing as a young naval officer.  It seems to me that by 1800, he had 'found himself'.  
The warm stroke, the 'Flowing' movement, and the simple, rounded forms of the writing show a lot of 'feminine' characteristics.  For a military man, he had incredible 'soft skills' in terms of his leadership abilities.  He was open to ideas, he listened to people, and became very much a 'people person'.  The size of his writing and positioning of his writing on the page shows him one that enjoyed the limelight.
It was a pleasure to present my analysis of his handwriting to the British Academy of Graphology this week.  255 years ago on this day, Horatio Nelson was born.  Happy birthday, Horatio.

    I am a handwriting analyst in the UK, fascinated by how a writer's personality is revealed in their handwriting.
