J. Herbin ‘D’ Bottled Ink – Bleu des Profondeurs (Deep Blue) – 30ml

Description:

The origins of J.Herbin date back to 1670. At around this time the French sailor, of that name, produced his first ink in his Paris workshop, "The Ink of Ships." This ink was an iron gall ink, required to be waterproof due to the weather and wet conditions associated with sailing a ship.

The recipe may have been formulated for the ship's master on his trips back and forth to India; or when he settled down in Paris to first start producing his sealing wax. Perhaps another sailor made his way to J. Herbin's workshop, and convinced him to produce a ship's ink.

The J. Herbin 'D' Bottled Ink sees some of J. Herbin's most popular shades bottled in a high-quality, attractive glass bottle with integrated pen rest. The bottles come in 10ml or 30ml and in a variety of fabulous colours.
