 | | Quills were used as instruments for writing with ink before the metal dip pen, the fountain pen, and eventually the ball point pen came into use. | | | Quills Kaufman makes the Marquis de Sade a poster-child for the freedom of expression—the same marquis who spent nearly 30 years in prison for crimes that included rape, and whose writings retain their pornographic sting 200 years after their publication. | | | Quills is no exception, and, in an imaginative tribute to the setting, cinematographer Rogier Stoffers has unobtrusively covered his images with a smoky veneer, as if they were old paintings in need of a slight cleaning. |

| | This pen succeeded the quill as a writing instrument in the later 19th century and soon replaced the quill as a favoured drawing instrument. | | | The quill pen was very popular with artists from the 15th century to the end of the 19th century. | | | Leonardo (1452-1519) favoured the quill, while Rembrandt (1606-69) used a reed pen; Dürer (1471-1528), Holbein (1497-1543), Watteau (1684-1721) and van Gogh (1858-90) are some of the great artists who have worked in pen and ink. |

| | NativeTech: Native American Porcupine Quill Decoration on Birch Bark |
| | Quill work on bark is an ancient art, as old or older than sewn quill embroidery, both Native American traditions for probably thousands of years. | | | Porcupine quill decoration on bark is not as well know as porcupine quill embroidery on leather, and compared to sewn embroidery on leather, it is less time consuming but is admittedly much easier to learn. | | | Though quill decoration on was known to all groups of Native Americans living in the range of porcupine, a few groups of eastern Woodland Natives are particularly well known for decoration on birch bark. |

| | In any event, from about that time the quill pen, more flexible than the reed, became the pre-eminent writing instrument for most of the western world for over a thousand years. | | | Because of the development of the shaft and the carving by the quill maker, each pen is as unique as the writer. | | | Basically, a series of cuts is made to the tip of the quill to fashion it into a pen nib. |
