Description
-
Author Shelby Foote's writing table. Mr. Foote wrote 1.5 million words on the Civil War with this dip pen. He described on C-SPAN how he has trouble today finding steel-tip replacements for the pen and often has to bargain with the few stationery stores that still sell them. On the table are a Quimper cup and saucer, a photo of musician Robert Johnson, Vermeer's "person with Pearl Earring," and Mr. Foote's dip pen. Photo credit: Brian Lamb.
