    This is what erasers were back then:

    Basically scalpels

          I thought you were talking about the “regular” rubbers, for pencil. Those rubbers are more “grippy” than paper, so the graphite particles will stick to it.

          This doesn’t work for ink, of course, and those rough rubbers literally scratch the paper with ink off of page.

    Tragic, but… it was 1909. Odds are he was going to die of some manner or pox or -theria regardless.
