Boerhaave Quill pen Calligraphy set

In the past, before the invention of modern pens, quill pens made from the feathers of large birds such as geese were commonly used for writing. The process of making a quill pen involved shaping the feather to create a writing nib, which was then dipped into ink and used for writing.

While the use of quill pens has largely been replaced by modern pens and other writing tools, some people still use them for calligraphy or as decorative items. They are also sometimes used in reenactments or historical events to recreate the experience of writing with a quill pen.

Overall, the quill pen is a fascinating historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the history of writing and the tools that were once used to record and communicate information.
