Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Robert Louis Stevenson fountain pen

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1850, Robert Louis Stevenson had two great desires:freedom and diversion by immersing himself in another world. He wrote essays and travelogues, as well as legendary adventure stories populated with striking characters whose names make readers all over the world shudder:Long John Silver, Captain Flint, Jekyll and Hyde. The Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Robert Louis Stevenson is dedicated to this imaginative storyteller.

The novel"Treasure Island"inspired many design details of the edition. The general shape of the writing instrument and the rings on the cone together give the impression of a historical telescopic pair of binoculars.

The black precious resin barrel is decorated with engraved crosses, including a larger"X"like the one that marks the treasure's location on a map. Vertical lines reminiscent of the planks of the"Hispaniola"schooner and a traditional sea chest adorn the Writers Edition cap. Behind the platinum-coated clip, the lines converge in a compass rose, while the clip mimics the shape of a belaying pin, to which the lines of a ship's rigging would be attached. The cap is topped by the Montblanc emblem with the pirate symbol, a skull and crossbones in the center. The ring of the cap is decorated with an engraving of Stevenson's signature and the publication date of his first work"The Pentland Rising", 1886. The years of life of Robert Louis Stevenson, 1850-1894, are engraved on the cap.

Referring to Robert Louis Stevenson's passion for seafaring and his resettlement in the South Seas, the handmade solid Au 750 gold rhodium-plated nib is engraved with fine waves and the title given by the Samoans to the great writer and world traveler,"Tusitala".
