The history of C?sar goes back to the 19th Century. At that time the Barthelemy couple used goose feathers (and other feathers) to write. But then steel nibs appeared and were considerably better than the feather. Thus the Barthelemy?s decided to abandon writing, but not the feathers, and in 1842 they started to make masks..... from feathers. In 1905, a certain Mr. C?sar - whose parents lacked neither humour nor ambition for their son when they called him ?Jules? - took over the business and gave it his name. The children, grandchildren, great grand children of Jules C?sar succeeded him at the head of the business until 1991, when it was sold to the current Chairman and Managing Director, Richard Roizen
