And something curious, since in those pre-historic representations made use of a sixth finger to touch animal fur. Since then the brush has hardly changed in its essence, although it has been refined and adapted to the different techniques that emerged throughout history.

With civilization came other representation, written language, which in the beginning took many forms, whether in hieroglyphics, combinations of flowers, beads, or knots incisions ... The pen, which is also a useful tool for drawing, is closely linked to this new representation. The reed pen was initially an instrument as a brush without cut or slit, came after the cut reed pen, and later the cane tube itself. Although the Romans were already available in the pen-like devices made of bronze or copper, was the quill pen who replaced the reed pen, extending his rule throughout the Middle Ages until the eighteenth century when the pen is invented in yes. This invention is attributed to Luis Senefelder, father turn of lithography. In the early nineteenth Königeberg Bürger in charge of the pen to give the structure we use today: a small piece that fits into a toothpick. He is also Joseph Guillott the first steel mill and in series. As for the fountain pen was invented by Lewis Waterman who began to investigate following spill their ink on a major contract was about to sign.
And human history is still with us that we are using these tools.
