Pelikan Limited Edition Evolution Script Fountain Pen
Posted by Francois in Pens, Uncategorized on Nov 12th, 2009 | 0 comments“Pelikan is celebrating the quantum leap in the history of human civilization with a new limited edition. The first fountain pen of this series bears the name “Evolution of Script”. Pelikan is looking back to the origins of writing thousands of years ago with this pen: from the cave paintings that were the precursors of writing, via the invention of hieroglyphics in Egypt and Mesopotamian cuneiform, to the development of the Greek alphabet as the point of departure for European scripts. The high-grade resin cap is engraved with cave painting motifs. The barrel, which is gold-plated with lacquer embellishments, displays the other early forms of writing as finely drawn symbols, hand-engraved in masterly fashion. The individual epochs are visually separated by gold-plated rings, in order to symbolize appropriately the line of development. The incomparable nature of this collectors item is very apparent in the 18-carat gold nib, which will be embossed with a different design for each edition. On the clip, the shape of which reflects the overall form of the pen, the same pattern as is embossed on the nib is repeated in high relief, recessed into the clip. Technically, this masterpiece represents the culture of writing in its purest form. Solid brass components guarantee reliable functionality combined with the highest degree of writing comfort. The artistic realisation of the theme, united with the consummate workmanship exercised on materials of the highest quality, makes “Evolution of Script” a highly desirable object, particularly for collectors. The plunger fountain pen is to be produced in a limited edition restricted to 930 examples worldwide: this recalls the first European adaptation of the Phoenician alphabet, which occurred on Crete in around 930 BC. The edition number, which is engraved on the end of the filling knob, makes each fountain pen unmistakably a one-and-only object.”
