Wow, ein wirklich wunderschöner Füllhalter!!! Die rote Oberfläche erinnert mich etwas an den Pope Julius II oder den Jules Verne. Die Form ist so etwa wie der Friedrich II! WOW! Da werde ich wohl wieder etwas sparen müssen, denn der Tate schein sein Geld wirklich wert zu sein!
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Writing instruments in honour of the great British patron of Art: "Sir Henry Tate"
This year´s Patron of Art Edition is focussed on a man who is not only one of the most successful entrepreneurs of the Victorian Age, but also one of the greatest art-lovers and patrons of his time: Sir Henry Tate. Montblanc selected him in 2006 for the name of the latest exclusive and strictly limited edition of writing instruments that have excited collectors every year since 1992. This Patron of Art Edition, together with the award of a unique cultural prize, the "Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award", is this year in the form of platinum-plated fountain-pens with neo-classical design elements, red lacquer inlays and a specially engraved 18-carat gold nib.
The promotion of the arts, a topical subject, then as now:
"Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award"
Since 1992, Montblanc has dedicated its Limited Edition Patron of Art to historical personalities such as Sir Henry Tate, who have achieved great things for mankind with their commitment to art. At the same time, Montblanc honours every year modern patrons with an outstanding cultural prize, the "Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award". An award to prize winners in ten countries whose personal involvement in art and culture deserves recognition from a wide public. As well as prize-money amounting to € 15,000 for a cultural project of their choice, the prize-winners receive a fountain-pen from the current "Limited Edition Patron of Art" collection, which will first be presented to the public within the context of the prize-giving in the spring of 2006.
