This video explores the fascinating history of the dip pen.
For over 1200 years the quill pen was the dominant writing instrument in much of the world. Join us as we discover how the Industrial Revolution, the city of Birmingham, England, and the hard work of many women and men created the metal dip pen - the pen that replaced the quill.
In this video we’ll also investigate:
• What’s a metal dip pen?
• How are metal dip pens different from quill pens?
• What’s a pen nib?
• Why were metal dip pens used by so many cartoonists and comic book artists throughout the history of comics?
Welcome to Art Expedition!
We hope you enjoy!
