"Once upon a time..." The Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Brothers Grimm is dedicated to Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm and celebrates their work on German and European folk tales among which are some of the most famous fairy tales such as "Snow White", "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty". The overall silhouette of the writing instrument is shaped like an old hiking stick and the Black colour resembles the darkness of the woods which usually serve as the main stage for the Brothers Grimm´s folklore. In addition, the wave-like pattern on the cap and barrel is inspired by Rapunzel´s hair while also resembling roots as the Brothers Grimm viewed their linguistic work as "research into roots". The cap is crowned by the Montblanc Emblem in precious resin. The platinum-coated clip, reminiscent of a knobby piece of wood, surprisingly reveals the silhouette of the profile of the Brothers Grimm when turned. As an homage to the magic of storytelling, the handcrafted Au 750 solid gold nib with rhodium coating bears flames which were often the setting around which folklore stories were passed on.
Jacob Ludwig Karl Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm, together known as The Brothers Grimm, were authors and lexicographers from 19th century Germany. Best known for their famous collection of European folk tales, including Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty, the traditional stories they amassed and published are still beloved around the world today.
Silhouettes resemble a wooden walking stick, in tribute to the wandering storytellers who would travel from village to village to tell their tales. Detailed with the iconic German words “Es war einmal” (which translates to “once upon a time”). Engravings take the form of burning flames, echoing the tradition of stories being told around a fire. Flames also play a key part in many folk tales.
