Tormenting a poor mole...

It is a particular design of dip pen (known the Sargent major) famous for its use in French schools from the 19th century to 1960. After the Franco-Prussian war, they were sent in schools in boxes with patriotic images of French battles on them and people associated the pens with revanchism.
It is a fine and slightly flexible pen. The French had a marked preference for very fine pointed dip pens, whereas broader ones with a turned up tip (so as to make it smoother, esp. on rougher paper) were more popular in England. The Americans liked medium pointed pens.

Thank you very much! Poor creature indeed!
Here is the original picture taken with my Pentax:

The color was added digitally using the GIMP.
For the story, my right hand was already holding the pen, so I had to use my left hand to take the picture... and cameras are clearly not designed for left handed users! The shutter release is always on the right side of the camera.

Ironically, "dip pen" and "feather" is the same word in French :

This is a very cute picture and very clever and imaginative use of the Sargent-major!
I use French pens every day for practising my handwriting. Gilbert & Blanzy-Poure DEPARTEMENTALE No 552 EF. Like so: https://www.weasyl.com/submission/4.....3/hohenzollern
I even have a box of pens made in France about 90 years ago, and they're very good quality. Haven't rusted at all and last a long time before they get scratchy.

You have a sharp eye !
I bought a pack of Sergent-Major in 1997 (I has in Junior High School) and I used them until 2007 or 2008.
I should perhaps try to go back to this technique someday. I wonder if my last bottle of Indian ink is still usable.
Thank you for the link, your handwriting works are really beautiful.
You are probably the only artist in the Furry Community that draws lineographic artworks !
