The evolution of writing materials till the advent of printing?
Writing was very important till the time printing was evolved. It was the only means of written communication.
Originally, words were carved as pictures on walls. Eventually, ink and primitive paper allowed long scrolls to carry important literature before the printing press was developed.
German Lutherans started the Advent calendar in the early 19th century. Gerhard Lang, however, was responsible for printing the first Advent calendar. He printed it in 1908.

The printing press directly benefited industries such as publishing, education, and communication. It revolutionized how books were produced and disseminated, leading to increased literacy rates, growth in the knowledge economy, and the spread of ideas and information.
The green leaves around the advent wreath symbolize everlasting life and growth. They are often made of pine, holly, or other evergreen materials to represent hope and renewal during the Advent season leading up to Christmas.
Ink bottles have been used for centuries, with their origins tracing back to at least the 12th century when they were commonly made from materials like glass, clay, or metal. The use of ink bottles became more widespread with the advent of the printing press in the 15th century and continued to be a staple for writers and artists well into the 20th century. Today, while digital writing has largely replaced traditional ink, ink bottles are still available for calligraphy and fountain pens.
The earliest written material is carved into stone walls, or in clay tablets. The Egyptians used papyrus as a writing medium, the Chinese used rice paper, and other societies used hides and cloth. Eventually paper and parchment were widely produced, simplifying writing and allowing books to be bound of individual pages. But they were still copied by hand, most famously by the monks of the Dark Ages. The development of movable type (from the ancient printing technique of woodblocks) spurred the growth of printed text, and printing presses of the 15th Century produced many different kinds of publications. Printing books and other publications was done with plate and rotary presses, which were the standard for printing until 1903 and the development of the offset press (using a rubber roller rather than direct contact with the printing plate). Versions of the offset press are still used for books and newspapers today, despite the advent of affordable forms of digital printing.

Before the Printing Press, books were both labor intensive to create and there wasn't much market for them since most people were illiterate. The most common method of communication was the telling of lore and tales to each succeeding generation but with the advent of the printing press, books became more widespread and literacy also increased as a result.
