This pack contains 12 round-barrelled HB Violetta copying pencils made in Portugal by Viarco. They are based on classic nineteenth-century copying pencils, which used a permanent (but toxic) violet dye instead of a graphite core. Viarco’s copying pencils use a non-toxic violet dye. Both the pencils and the packaging are based on Viarco pencils from the 1950s and 1960s; they have a retro charm and would make a great gift for any pencil enthusiast or fine artist.

Violeta copying pencils are quite possibly the only copying pencils still in production – the Viarco Copia Violeta Duro (Violet Permanent Copying).  Copying pencils were used prior to commercial photocopiers to make an imprint of a written page.  These pencils are water-soluble, which dry permanently after being wet.  A written page could be transferred to another paper when wet, making a true and permanent copy.

The brand Viarco was registered in Portugal in 1936, however pencil production in the country dates back to 1907. Along with pencils, Viarco produce the high quality ArtGraf artist products along with various design accessories.
