DISPLAY CARD FOR PENS WITH WRITING

ITALY EA/IT/0043

A display of several calligraphy nibs and a dip pen, fastened to a card covered in examples of writing styles. Unlike fountain pens, dip pens have no ink reservoir, but can be used with many inks unsuitable for fountain pens. As a result, these pens are often used for artistic purposes, rather than ease of use. Naturally, anything written using these nibs ought to be in the italic script, as invented in Italy in the 15th century.
