This mechanical pencil was made after a pencil from the possession of Goethe. The pencil is depicted on a copperplate engraving by Carl August Schwerdgeburth. Pencils with such a mechanical function were a world first. They were initially made in England in 1825.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe preferred writing with a pencil because the "buzzing and squirting" of the pen could inhibit his train of thought and "stifle a small product in birth," as he relates in "Dichtung und Wahrheit."
The original of the mechanical pencil can be viewed in the Goethe National Museum in Weimar.
