Pelikan Fountain Pens LIGHTHOUSE OF ALEXANDRIA is a further highlight
in the “Seven Wonders of the World” series of fine writing instruments. This
time, tribute is paid to the highest of the seven wonders - the Pharos of
Alexandria. This majestic ancient lighthouse stood on the island of Pharos close
to the coast of Egypt for more than a thousand years; built in 300 B.C., it was
the first beacon fire in history.
The exclusive fountain pen
from Pelikan recalls this technical and artistic marvel with an equivalent
degree of precision and craftsmanship. Even the presentation is unique: the pen
is impressively displayed under a glass dome designed to be reminiscent of the
original. The dark blue lacquered barrel enclosed between gold-plated edges and
the gold-plated clip emphasize the preciousness of the pen. The front section is
adorned with an engraved image of the ancient building.
Further features of “The Lighthouse of Alexandria“ are shapes representing four
stylized lighthouse windows on the dark blue cap. Collectors who value the
highest degree of functionality and consistency in writing will be particularly
thrilled by the 18-carat gold nib, individually embossed with a blazing beacon
fire. Each fountain pen of the Limited Edition “The Lighthouse of
Alexandria” is rendered unique by the engraved serial number on the filler knob.
The series is limited to 440 pens, an allusion to the height of this
unparalleled structure: the Pharos of Alexandria was 440 ft. high and took over
20 years to build. It was considered an architectural masterpiece and right down
to today remains the tallest beacon ever built in the world.
