Some time before 1565, an enormous deposit of graphite was discovered in the hamlet of Seathwaite in Borrowdale parish, Cumbria, England. The locals found that it was very useful for marking sheep. This particular deposit of graphite was extremely pure and solid, and it could easily be cut into sticks.
Because graphite is soft, it requires some form of case. Graphite sticks were at first wrapped in string or in sheepskin for stability. The news of the usefulness of these early pencils spread far and wide, attracting the attention of artists all over the known world.
The word pencil comes from the Latin word pencillus which means "little tail".
Yes, pencils were widely used in the 1910s. By that time, the modern graphite pencil had been around for over a century, with mass production techniques established in the 19th century. Both wooden and mechanical pencils were available, and they were commonly used in schools, offices, and by artists. The 1910s saw improvements in pencil manufacturing, leading to better quality and variety.
No. Pencils were not invented in that time. They did wrap graphite in string to use like a pencil. The first pencil was invented in 1666 in Nuremburg, Germany.
