Writers Edition Fountain Pen Homage To Robert Louis Stevenson Limited Edition - Fine Point | Montblanc

born in edinburgh, scotland, in 1850, robert louis stevenson yearned for two things: freedom and the leisure of diving into another world. He wrote essays and travel stories, as well as his legendary adventure stories populated with extraordinary characters, whose names gave shivers to readers all over the world: Long John Silver, Captain Flint, Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde. the montblanc writers edition homage to robert louis stevenson is dedicated to this extremely creative storyteller. many decorative details of this edition are inspired by the novel "-Treasure Island"-. the overall shape of the writing instrument, combined with the rings on the cone, recreates the effect of a historic extendable telescope. the body in precious black resin is decorated with engraved crosses, including a larger “x” similar to that used to mark the location of treasure on a map. the cap of the writers edition is adorned with vertical lines that recall the boards of the "-hispaniola"- schooner and a traditional chest. behind the platinum-finish clip, the lines converge to create a compass rose, while the clip reproduces the shape of a cleat, to which the ship'-s shrouds are fixed. the top of the cap is crowned with the Montblanc emblem, decorated with the pirate symbol - a skull and crossbones - elevated in the center. The cap ring is adorned with the engraving of Stevenson'-s signature, and the date of publication of his first work, "-The Pentland Rising"-, in 1866. The years of birth and death of Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) are engraved on the cap. As a tribute to Robert Louis Stevenson'-s passion for sailing and his choice to move to the South Seas, the hand-crafted rhodium-plated Au 750 solid gold nib is engraved with a delicate wave pattern and the name the Samoans gave the great writer and globetrotter: “tusitala”.
