The writing slope was used widely in the 1800s. It was mainly used in the late 1700s during colonial expeditions, and military travel.

It provided a portable desk, complete with a soft writing surface (felt or leather), compartments for ink, pens, and paper. It was considered to be a personal item, rather than a household one.
