🏛 History

Why people used to use quill pens?

Before pencils and ballpoint pens were invented, people wrote with quills. These were feathers, usually from large birds like geese, that were sharpened at the end to a point. They would dip the quill into ink and then write on paper or parchment.

⭐ Bonus fact: Quill pens were used for over 1,000 years before metal pens became popular!
