Introducing the "Explorers" Collection, a tribute to the indomitable spirit of adventure and discovery that has shaped our understanding of the world. This exquisite collection of inks celebrates the lives and legacies of four of history's most iconic explorers: David Livingstone, Sacagawea, Dame Freya Stark, and Marco Polo. Each ink is meticulously crafted to capture the essence of their remarkable journeys and the landscapes they traversed.

1. David Livingstone: An earthy red-brown shading ink with a wide variation from light beige to deep earthen brown, and a subtle sheen. This ink reflects the rich soils and diverse terrains of Africa that Livingstone explored with relentless curiosity and compassion.
