Shorthand writing on old photo?

[ankerdine]

I've started biting my nails again which is a form of stress-relief!

Interesting article about Dickens Erato. What a strange fellow he must have been.

I think that the person who took the photograph must have written on the back of it. Who was that person. A soldier, another girlfriend or?......

Not Pitman's for sure - I believe it is Gregg's and the best place to ask would actually be on a US forum as they used it more than Pitman's.

Here's images of Greggs shorthand:

I'm going cross-eyed with this, but there don't look to be enough dots for it to be Greggs, although the loops are there.

At a cursory glance Gregg and Pitman look very similar and they are both composed of straight and curved lines.  The writing on the back of the photo seems to consist solely of curves, from what I can make out.

My request to SOAS has been passed on to an eminent professor; I'll keep us updated.
