  1. My current research led me to a kind of "what's hot"/guide book on the must-visit shops and most notable people of Paris in 1692. There is a very small section on writing and stationery shops and within that section a page that I think many of us would have earmarked back in the day; pen and ink aficionados never change Here's a loose translation of the entire short passage: At [the house named] 'l'Image Saint François', on rue Saint André next to the bridge Saint Michel, there is a stationer famous for the good ink (la bonne encre), for precision pen knives and for sharpened quills. I haven't done any reading on ink history, but has anyone come across any literature on this "good ink"? Herbin isn't mentioned in the section either for his sealing wax or for his inks. The Herbin website notes that he "created 'The Jewel of Inks' in his shop on the Rue des Fossés Saint-Germain in Paris in 1700" and that "by 1700, the company was producing 'l’Encre de la Tête Noire,' followed by 'Perle des Encres,' (The Jewel of Inks) and 'l’Encre des Vaisseaux.'" Could "the good ink" be "l’Encre de la Tête Noire" since it preceded the "Jewel of Inks" and could have launched around then? My research isn't centered on ink, but if I come across any other ink mentions I will post them here!
