Calligraphy and calligraphy pens
Encyclopaedia Britannica notes under its entry for ‘calligraphy’, ‘(Calligraphy is the…) Art of beautiful, stylised, or elegant handwriting or lettering with pen or brush and ink. It involves the correct formation of characters, the ordering of the various parts, and the harmony of proportions. In the Islamic and Chinese cultures, calligraphy is as highly revered as painting. In Europe in the 14th–16th century, two scripts developed that influenced all subsequent handwriting and printing: the roman and italic styles. With the invention of modern printing (1450), calligraphy became increasingly bold and ornamental.’
A calligrapher needs a range of tools for producing beautiful calligraphic pieces. The most important of these are the pen, which may be flat- or round-nibbed, and the brush. Special calligraphic pens are available from most of the leading brands of writing instruments around the world and calligraphy is necessarily done on high quality paper, which helps in creating more clear lines and the production of better pieces.
Pens de Luxe Group of fine pen shops is the largest pen specialty retailer in Australia with three outlets in NSW and two in QLD. The Pen Shoppe was originally founded in Brisbane in 1980 by Barbara and Bruce Nichol. There are now two shops that serve the Brisbane City area.
Owner and business woman Barbara Nichol has made a study of the history of writing. One of the country’s well known calligraphers, she has knowledge of all forms of writing and is also an expert witness for the legal profession in matters of questioned documents. This comprehensive understanding of writing and especially Copperplate (the fastest writing system that has been developed) has led Barbara to strive to offer Calligraphy pens, fountain pens and other writing equipment for serious writers, artists, calligraphers and professionals.
