Writers Robert Louis Stevenson limited edition 1883 rollerball pen

Writers Edition Homage to Robert Louis Stevenson Limited Edition 1883 rollerball pen. Born in 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Robert Louis Stevenson longed for two things: freedom and the chance to immerse himself in another universe.

He is the author of essays, travel writing and legendary adventure stories populated by striking characters whose names thrill readers around the world: Long John Silver, Captain Flint, Jekyll and Hyde. The Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Robert Louis Stevenson set celebrates this writer of prolific imagination. The novel Treasure Island inspired many details of this edition.

The writing instrument and the rings of the cone form a whole that evokes a historic extendable spyglass. Retelling the story of Treasure Island, this edition features the famous Hispaniola on a barrel finished in precious black lacquer. Setting out on a long voyage, the Hispaniola flies a British flag behind a small porthole.

To recall the plot, which includes a pirate mutiny, a small button rotates the flag to reveal a pirate flag. Vertical lines recall the planks of the schooner Hispaniola, while the cap, coated in signature gold, is adorned with a traditional sea chest. Behind the clip coated in signature gold, the lines converge to form a compass rose.

This clip imitates the shape of a belaying pin, to which the rigging rope of a ship is usually fastened. The top of the cap is crowned with the Montblanc emblem in mother-of-pearl. The cap ring bears Stevenson's engraved signature.

With signature gold and/or signature gold coating, Montblanc describes the light shade of yellow gold that has become a favored color for the Maison's writing instruments.
