The Victorian Guy

The Catalogue doesn’t say much about Victorian pencils, and Joe Nemecek likes it that way. On the few occasions when I’ve ventured thoughts about Victorian pencils here, I’ll usually get an email from Joe saying, "Hey, I’m supposed to be the Victorian Guy!"

I agree. He is. And this year at the DC Supershow, Joe displayed his collection. Here he is, carefully removing each one of his more than 350 examples from their individual little velvet pouches . . .
