Montblanc – Writers Edition: Shakespeare William

Description

The pen is made of black and white resin in reference to the colors of the flags that were raised above Shakespeare’s Globe Theater in London depending on the genre that was to be played (black for a tragedy and white for a comedy). The pen body with guilloche engraving refers to the nibs Shakespeare used to write his works, the clip ring represents the earring Shakespeare wore, the cap shows a bird’s eye view of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. The gold band on the pen bears the raised symbols of his seven most famous pieces: a skull for Hamlet, chess pieces for King Lear, a rose and a dagger for Romeo and Juliet, a coat of arms for Henry V, a garland for Macbeth, a swirling cloud for The Tempest and a C shaped laurel wreath for Julius Caesar.
