Jacques Herbin 1670 Inks Collection Gift Box of 5 10ml Inks Reviews

Herbin started producing ink in 1670, making ink for King Louis XIV, the Sun King (or Le Roi Soleil) and other important French figures such as Victor Hugo (author of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Les Miserables"). This special anniversary set contains five colours from the 1670 collection: 10ml bottles of Rouge Hematite, Stormy Grey, Emerald of Chivor, Blue Ocean, Caroube de Chypre. Each glass bottle contains 10ml of ink and features a vintage label and a wax-covered cap. Herbin inks have long been a favourite of many fountain pen connoisseurs. Besides their wide range of colours, these inks are especially popular due to the use of entirely natural dyes. The use of these dyes mean that these inks are of a neutral pH (non-acidic), fast-drying and lightfast. Suitable for fountain pens, dip pens and brushes
