Inks have been an integral part of human history, with their vibrant hues derived from coal tar and used in various forms of art and communication. From the colorful lithographs produced by Manders Inks to the captivating advertisements promoting Mander Brothers letterpress inks, these pigments have left a lasting impression. One such advertisement showcases Moncrieffs Inks, hailing all the way from Perth, Scotland. Their high-quality they were sought after by artists and writers alike, leaving a mark on every stroke of their pen or brush. As we delve into history, we discover that even centuries ago, ink played a vital role in artistic expression. The 18th-century masterpiece "Pursuits of a Scholar 8" mesmerizes us with its intricate details created using ink on silk. Similarly, "The chamberlain and a writer in their office, " painted on wood, transports us back to an era where words flowed effortlessly onto parchment. Religious art also owes much to the power of ink. The Madonna of the Magnificat captivates our senses with its delicate tempera strokes on wood dating back to circa 1483. Equally enchanting is St Augustine's vision of the Trinity depicted through tempera on wood during the years 1437-38. But it wasn't just art that relied upon this versatile medium; important historical documents were penned using ink as well. The East India Company Charter stands as a testament to this fact - drafted meticulously with black ink on paper - sealing London's destiny as an epicenter for trade since December 31st, 1600. From ancient manuscripts to modern-day masterpieces, inks continue to color our world with beauty and significance. Whether it be advertising materials showcasing R. Collie & Co or capturing moments through vivid lithography prints – these diverse applications remind us that behind every stroke lies creativity waiting to be unleashed onto canvas or paper.
