MONTBLANC WRITERS EDITION SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
In this first version, precious resin with ruthenium-coated details frame the cap and barrel. Its main motif evokes the original tartan fabric of the great Sherlock Holmes. Above him, parts of a map of Victorian London, indicating the streets Upper Wimpole Street -location of Arthur Doyle’s medical office- and Baker Street -home of Sherlock Holmes-. The gray color of the resin is reminiscent of the dark and foggy streets of London, often described in the Sherlock Holmes mysteries.
After the clip, the initials JB are a reference to Joshua Bell, the author’s professor of Medicine. A true master of deduction and diagnosis, which inspired Doyle for his well-known character Sherlock Holmes. On the magnifying glass, a red lacquer dot represents an ophthalmoscope, evoking the medical specialty to which the writer dedicated himself.
The ring decorated with Doyle’s signature stands out on the cap. In addition, it shows the vine symbol on the cover of “A Study in Scarlet”, the fhttps://ibericapens.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=product_cat&post_type=productirst story starring Sherlock Holmes, and the date on which the publishers wrote to Sir Arthur to inform him that they were going to publish this novel: “Oct. 30, 1886”.
This edition is completed with a ruthenium-coated 18-carat solid gold nib that, in addition to Doyle’s portrait, presents that of the pterodactyls from “The Lost World”, a science fiction novel about an expedition to a high plateau in the Amazon basin in which prehistoric animals still survive.
