Writers Edition Homage to Robert Louis Stevenson Limited Edition 94 Fountain Pen
€ 44,000.00
Robert Louis Stevenson, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1850, had two great desires: for freedom and for the distraction of immersion in another world He composed essays and travel accounts as well as his legendary adventure stories peopled with striking characters whose names send a shiver down the spines of readers around the world: 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 overall shape of the writing instrument and the rings on the cone give the impression of a historical, extendable spyglass. One of the most dangerous figures on board the Hispaniola is Long John Silver, who is immortalised on the cap as a hand-engraved figure filled in with lacquer. Long John Silver's faithful parrot, Captain Flint, is also embedded in the grid as a hand-engraved figure covered in degrade lacquer. Around the top ring of the cap is the first line of the requiem Stevenson wrote for himself: "UNDER THE WIDE AND STARRY SKY". The lettering is mirror-inverted and recalls the theme of duality in Stevenson's novel "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde". The yellow gold-coated clip imitates the shape of a belaying pin to which the rigging is attached on a ship like the Hispaniola. Behind the clip, as well as on the barrel of this edition, a stylised compass rose is worked into the solid Au 750 yellow gold grid. Stevenson's hand-drawn treasure map, which is the starting point and centre of the entire novel, is engraved into the Ag 925 sterling silver barrel. The nib consists of two elements: the word "Tusitala" - a name given to Stevenson by the Samoans, which translates as “teller of stories” - and palm leaves representing Stevenson's arrival on Samoa - his beloved Pacific island.
