A Tribute to the Masters of Folklore
Montblanc’s Writers Edition: Homage to the Brothers Grimm pays tribute to Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm—pioneers of Germanic folklore and authors of some of the world’s most enduring fairy tales, including Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty.
The pen’s design is rich with symbolism:
- The overall silhouette evokes an old hiking stick, reminiscent of the storytellers’ journeys through the landscapes of their tales.
- The deep black resin mirrors the enchanted darkness of the forest, the common setting for many Grimm stories.
- A wave-like pattern along the cap and barrel recalls Rapunzel’s flowing hair while also suggesting the image of roots—a nod to the Grimms’ scholarly pursuit of linguistic origins.
- The platinum-coated clip, textured like a gnarled tree branch, cleverly reveals the silhouetted profiles of the Brothers Grimm when viewed from a particular angle.
- Topping the cap is Montblanc’s iconic snowcap emblem in precious resin.
