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.

DOCTOR, ADVENTURER AND PASSIONATE ABOUT NARRATIVE
Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859. He studied medicine and worked as a doctor, but his great passion was narrative. His adventurous and exploring spirit led him to travel to places like the Arctic or Africa, where he served as a volunteer doctor in the Boer war. His most famous work is perhaps the one starring the famous private detective Sherlock Holmes, which includes sixty stories. But, the truth is that it has about two hundred creations between novels, short stories, poems, historical books and pamphlets. His chronicle of the Boer War denouncing the limitations of the British forces earned him a knighthood from King Edward VII for services rendered to the crown. In his last years – he died in 1930 – he showed great interest in the subject of spiritism, becoming an enthusiastic defender of this doctrine.

THE ENIGMATIC WAKE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
The design of each of the editions of the new Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Writers Edition collection has found its greatest inspiration in the numerous stories starring the unmistakable detective Sherlock Holmes. But Montblanc’s master craftsmen didn’t stop at just that, they also drew on the extraordinary life of Arthur C. Doyle. Thus, the inclusion of the famous magnifying glass used so many times by the intrepid detective, so essential when solving any crime or mystery, which in all editions shapes the clip, is striking. On the other hand, the portrait of the famous writer appears engraved on the nibs of the four editions that make up the collection, together with a special element of the story corresponding to each edition.
