The crayons were named after their inventor and the Conté Crayons are very popular among artists. They are "a drawing medium composed of compressed powdered graphite or charcoal mixed with a wax or clay base, square in cross-section". Can you understand this definition? Neither can I!!!!
When I was a child, I can assure that pencils were already a very common tool in any student's schoolbag!
Thank you Mr Conté!
