Late 19^th century
Made in England.
Pen with a wooden handle and two pointed ends.


All the students had an inkwell and pen for writing until the mid-20^th century. These objects were very valuable. In an essentially rural world, the ability to read and write was reserved for a middle-class, city-dwelling elite.

This particular pen was used to sign the first official deeds of the Province of Québec, under the Confederation.
