Completed in 1850, Herman Melville's Moby Dick drew heavily on the author's
experiences as a young sailor on a whaling ship. The book is rich in details about the operation of a whaling vessel, but also explores the universal theme
of the search for meaning. Krone honors Melville and his renowned novel with a stunning Limited Edition. The barrel is crafted from Mammoth Ivory, which is
at least 10,000 years old, and the cap is made of African Zebra wood panels framed by Briarwood. The rich, delicate, sepia-colored scrimshaw artwork features
a portrait of Herman Melville as well as a scene from the story. Trimming the top and bottom of the cap are hand-wrapped insets of antiqued twine, simulating
a ship's rigging. A Mammoth Ivory disk with a scrimshaw Compass Rose and a bronze band with Herman Melville's signature add the finishes touches. Only 288
fountain pens and 38 rollers available worldwide.
