Fountain Pens Steinberg's book presents many pens rarely, or never, seen before. Numerous unusual pens are beautifully illustrated in this small but abundant volume. Fountain Pens: Their History And Art traces the history of the development of the pen from early reservoir systems to self-filling pens to modern reproductions. The book features more than one hundred four-color images, from lush photographic portraits of individual pens to rare vintage advertisements and original patent illustrations. The presentation of the book has an intentional, subtly antiqued feel that compliments the pens it depicts. |

excellent text along with Dan Zazove's remarkable knowledge are enclosed within
