Summary/Abstract: This article presents nineteenth-century literacy as a cultural phenomenon related to other practices such as drawing, notation, mathematical representation, etc. Litwinowicz-Droździel’s analysis is based on contemporary accounts – descriptions of writing lessons, methodologies and handbooks of the time, literary manuscripts, as well as texts whose interpretation we can broaden precisely by placing them in the context of graphemic practices.
