Herbin calligraphy learning set

Herbin's calligraphy learning kit is the perfect way to practice writing in the style of early 20th century students in France. The set includes: a penholder and nib, blotting paper, a 10ml flacon of purple ink and instructions. Ergonomic, wooden barrel provides optimal grip and comfort while writing. The nib, modeled after the famous "Sergent-Major," is straight, thin and flexible, used by generations of students until the 1960s. Herbin ink is specially formulated for writing with a fountain pen. It is elegant and provides great writing pleasure. The practical tissue paper absorbs excess ink to avoid stains and spills. The history of purple ink dates back to the time of Napoleon I, when French schoolchildren wrote with the cheapest ink available, which was made from methyl violet, known for its disinfecting properties. The J. Herbin set combines this rich history with the modern needs of artists and calligraphy enthusiasts, offering a product that is not only practical, but also has historical and aesthetic value.
