Montblanc - Writers Edition Homage to Robert Louis Stevenson Limited Edition Fountain Pen

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1850, Robert Louis Stevenson longed for two things: the freedom and the amusement of diving into another world. He wrote essays and travel stories, as well as his legendary adventure stories populated by extraordinary characters, whose names sent chills to readers around the world: Long John Silver, Captain Flint, Dr 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 shape of the writing instrument recreates the effect of a historic extendable telescope. The black precious resin body is decorated with engraved crosses, including a larger “X” similar to the one used to mark the location of treasure on a map. The cap of the Writers Edition is adorned with vertical lines that recall the planks of the schooner “Hispaniola” and a traditional chest. Behind the platinum-coated clip, the lines create a compass rose, while the clip reproduces the shape of a cleat, to which the ship's shrouds are attached. The top of the cap is crowned by the Montblanc emblem, emblazoned with the pirate symbol - a skull and crossbones - elevated in the center. The cap ring is engraved with Stevenson's signature, and the publication date of his first book, The Pentland Rising, in 1886. The years of birth and death of Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) are engraved on the cap.

Paying homage to Robert Louis Stevenson's passion for sailing and his decision to settle in the South Seas, the handcrafted rhodium-coated Au 750 solid gold nib is engraved with a delicate wave pattern and the name the Samoans gave the great writer and globetrotter: “Tusitala”.
