Details
Few authors in literary history have had the ability to craft dialogue and bring characters to life as elegantly, ironically, and astutely as British author Jane Austen. Montblanc has created the writer's edition homage to Jane Austen to celebrate one of English literature's most famous authors. This edition brings to life the regency era when noble country estates were the scene of great parties held for the purpose of cultivating social relationships and forging marriage alliances. The fluting of a classical column embellishes the elegant sandstonegrey resin barrel, along with Jane Austen's signature. The contrasting greyblue cap references the type of doublecollared regency coat typically worn by gentlemen such as Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. Goldcoated rings on the barrel and platinumplated fittings add finishing touches to the design. The engraving of the roman numerals xliii on the cap ring are a reference to the chapter of the novel in which Elizabeth Bennet sees Mr. Darcy's estate for the first time. The title page of her novel Sense and Sensibility, published in 1811, merely declared the work to have been written ‘by a lady'. This statement of authorship adorns the cap top of the writer's edition homage to Jane Austen limited edition, along with the Montblanc emblem. The silhouette of the writing instrument itself resembles a wax seal stamp. The clip is every bit as unusual as the cap. Shaped like a braided cord with a drawstring closure, it resembles that of a ‘reticule', a type of bag used by women around 1800 to carry their powder, mirror, and the indispensable pocket handkerchief. Montblanc ballpoint pen from the Writer's Edition collection. Montblanc emblem inlaid into cap. Rose goldcoated fittings. Precious resin. Spot clean. Made in Germany.
