Knowing Authors Through Their Handwriting

By: Jimmy Cox

Graphoanalysis has given me one reward that cannot be measured in dollars and cents, or for that matter, in any other way I can describe. It has given me the ability to know people. All kinds of people. There have been famous religious leaders like Stephen S. Wise, the great Jewish Rabbi, and Hal Wallis, the famous motion picture producer. Great artists, some of the world's great poets, and singers, motion picture stars, and some that society describes as "rats". There has been a lot of good in many of them, but none of them has been quite as good or nearly as bad as the public gave them credit for being. Not necessarily the public, but very often their close associates, even their families.

Many of these people I have never met, although very often we have and because I knew the individual from handwriting, we managed to find a mutual meeting on interests. There is one of the greatest of the old time motion picture stars still playing in Hollywood. We have never met, although we have tried hard enough, but I know her and she knows that I do, for this is what she had to say about the analysis of her handwriting.

"Graphoanalysis revealed me to myself as I never thought it would. It even uncovered traits of character that I knew subconsciously that I had, and when faced with them had to admit."

In this connection I am reminded of the first time I met Charlie Ransom. Ransom was tall, and I was short. He put out his hand, looked down at me, and said, "From the letters you write I figured you were as big as I am." Charlie merely read what I had written, and in 1911 I did not know enough about handwriting and what it reveals to have any idea whatever about him. Years later when we were to work on questioned documents together, that little incident would come to mind, and I would smile, but I never mentioned it. However, in those later days I knew

Charlie better than he ever knew me even though he studied some graphoanalysis.

When "The Moon and Six Pence" by Somerset Maugham appeared, it was sent to me by the publishers for review. It was a great book, and I said so, but it was not until years later when Maugham sent me his handwriting that I understood his appeal to that vast audience that love his stories for their word tones, as well as for their message. Figure eight "g's" show literary tendencies, but the greatest thing in the whole page is his love of color. So, though he did not become famous as a painter with oils, he won a vast following thru the pictures he painted in words that reached ten thousand times as great an audience as if he had been a Raphael.

You will have the same experience very likely with your own favorite author. Somewhere along the way you will get his or her handwriting, and you will understand the individual back of the written words. That will make both the writer and the book much nearer to you because you too will know the author.
