Remarks
Zakariya reflects harshly on this early work, describing the attempts as 'probably horrible' and expressing a desire to burn them because they did not follow the 'technical structures of form, line and motion' (p. 70-71). This work represents his engagement with calligraphy before learning the 'critical philosophy' of the art (p. 71).
