The 1670 Collection celebrates the rich life and adventures of Herbin, the enterprising French sailor of the mid-17th century. While he was in the employ of the Compagnie des Indes Orientales he made a number of voyages to India, collecting ingredients and formulas for his sealing wax and inks.

All inks are made in France and come in 50ml glass bottles with a hand-dipped wax seal.
