British based William Mitchell Calligraphy has been designing and manufacting exceptional pens for almost 200 years. Renowned worldwide for their quality, these pens are the first choice for professional calligraphers, scribes and aspiring students. The William Mitchell specialised series of Joseph Gillott range of drawing and mapping nibs are ideal for sketching, drawing and Copperplate.
This box set of 11 nibs includes one Mapping and one Drawing pen holder and a magnet. The selection boxes cleverly include a small magnet for lifting the nibs out of the storage sections without having to tip all the nibs out. Mapping pens differ from other dip pens in size and shape. The nibs are extra fine for delicate, accurate lines. Because the base of the nib is a small tube it will not fit in a standard dip pen handle, it needs a mapping pen holder. William Mitchell nib points have a protective lacquer to prevent tarnishing. Briefly immerse the full pen point in boiling water before first use to remove. Washing your pen in lukewarm water after each use, then drying it gently with paper tissue, will maintain its optimum performance.
