Description
MONTBLANC "QUEEN ELISABETH I" FOUNTAIN PEN. Body in lacquered silver and gold plated. Gold nib 18 Kts. Limited edition. No box. Measures: 14,5 cm length; 16,95 mm diameter. Elizabeth I was born in Reenwich on September 7, 1533 and died in Richmond on March 24, 1603. She was Queen of England and Ireland from November 17, 1558 until the day of her death. She was the fifth monarch of the Tudor dynasty. The queen took the step of separating from the church of Rome by establishing a Protestant church, currently the "church of England". During her reign, England had a great cultural splendor, with figures such as William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, Francis Drake and John Hawkins, among others. Montblanc, on the occasion of the founding of "Montblanc de la culture" in 2010 launches the fountain pen "Elisabeth I", in a limited edition of 4810 units worldwide. The pen is made of silver with gold-plated finishes, the body and cap in black lacquer with gold trim. The fine engravings on the cap and the lower part of the barrel are inspired by the artistic filigree on the cover of the book "The miroir of glasse of the synneful soul", a manuscript that Elizabeth I received from her stepmother Katherine Parr (hence the initials on the cover) and which she herself translated from French rhyme into English prose with prayers and meditations and embroidered on its binding when she was only 11 years old. The loading system is by plunger. The central ring is engraved "Video et Taceo", Spanish for "I see it and say nothing", a strategy frowned upon by his advisors but which often saved him from unfavorable political and civil alliances. The clip is set with an emerald green synthetic garnet and the cross, reminiscent of the elements of the queen's crown. The nib is handmade in 18 carat gold, on it is engraved the crown of England and the years 1558 - 1603, these numbers indicate the year of coronation of Elisabeth I and the year of her death.
