The 2020's MB Writers Edition collection pays homage to Victor Hugo, the 19th-century french writer, who spearheaded the resurgence of interest in the medieval past and art. The overall design of the Writer's Edition Homage to Victor Hugo Fountain Pen is inspired by the gothic architecture, featuring a translucent red lacquer body and a platinum-coated skeletonised overlay structured as the Notre-Dame de Paris grand rose window.
The hand-crafted solid gold nib features an engraving of a gargoyle - a sculpture of mythical beast, similar to those found on the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral. Victor Hugo's signature adorns the forepart of the Writer's Edition Homage to Victor Hugo Fountain Pen.
The cone of the LE1831 is decorated with an engraved trefoil frieze, which is also part of the architecture of Notre-Dame. The shape of the cone, with a single chain link at the end, recalls the posts to which Quasimodo was chained.
The new Writer's Edition Homage to Victor Hugo Fountain Pen is limited to 1831 pieces corresponding to the publication date of his novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. The cap of the fountain pen features numbers 24601 and 9430 - the first and second prisoner numbers received by Jean Valjean, the protagonist of Hugo's historical novel Les Misérables.
The cap top is crowned by the Montblanc emblem in mother-of-pearl.
The bicolour Medium nib, handcrafted from Au750 gold, refers to Victor Hugo’s famous novel Notre-Dame de Paris with a fine engraving of a gargoyle – one of the cathedral’s grotesque waterspouts.
