Why do we love stationery so much?

It is because stationery gives us a sense of nostalgia. It allows us to send and receive messages and news in a more meaningful way than text or email. We love to buy beautiful new stationery because we can then send (and receive) it. Once we add our own stories to the paper, it makes it even more special. 🥰🤍

The oldest known type of pen is Reed Pen from Ancient Egypt. 🖊️🖊️

A reed pen is made from a single piece of reed that is pointed into a square and split at the point. The first to use reed pens were scribes from Ancient Egypt in the 4th century BC for writing on papyrus. They would dip the reed pen into a spot of ink and it would retain some ink in a split at the point. Reed pens are stiffer than quills and they lose a sharp point pretty quickly. Because of that they were replaced with quills but remained popular in some places until Middle Ages.

To make a reed pen, scribes would take a piece of reed of some 20cm, which was whole and had no damage. They would leave the end that would be cut into points in water for some time so it would not splinter when it’s cut. With a series of cuts that would cut the nib of the pen until it is flat enough and pointed. The pointed end is then cut off not too far from the point to form a squared end suitable for writing. In the end, they would start the split (which will hold the ink during the writing) from the tip of the nib and lengthen it until it is of the proper length (but not too much because the pen could break). The skill of making reed pens was very important for scribes because, as we said, reed pens didn’t last long.
