So glad to be back to my darling scanner!
I started to write this ages ago on the side of an empty coffee cup during class one day and accidentally threw it out. This is all I can remember.
These were scanned by my friend Kate, and I thought I'd make them available for other Rotring Rapidograph owners who don't have any instructions!
This picture is called writing my thesis.. The motivation comes from struggling to write my thesis... The picture attempts to depict a pleasant writing environment which should hopefully inspire to people to finish their work.... yeah right!!!
enjoy
A recently acquired fountain len with a 14 carat gold nib. Mentmore was originally a British company, now it is Chinese, probably just a trading name for Chinese Duke pens. This pen is a small object of beauty. Built with a brass body, overlaid with a decorative acrylic finish. I had the medium nib adjusted to give a wetter ink flow. It's quite a large pen, 138mm closed and 122 open without the cap posted. It weighs about 58grams, and for me is too large and heavy with the cap posted.
It fits in my hand and writes very easily with the cap unposted, with a good wet flow of ink. I'm currently using Pelikan 4001 blue-black ink in it, which seems very quick drying. Despite being left-handed, I've yet to smudge my writing using this pen.
The paper is thin white card and the text is from a Latin breviary - clearly, I can make no claims to beautiful handwriting.
I've tried to colour-match the 3 images - the one of the whole pen, cap unposted, is most accurate.
Our new calligraphy teacher requires us to practise at home and select our two best works for sending to Tokyo on a monthly basis. This is what I produced this month. The model in orange at the back was prepared for us by our teacher.

The Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I.
The Limited Edition collection honours the remarkable artistic and architectural achievements of Aztec culture, and the influence of one of its great leaders, Moctezuma I.
Every spring since 1992, Montblanc introduces the Patron of Art pen collection which pays tribute to those who exemplify the importance of art patronage throughout the world. The stellar names include Peggy Guggenheim, Pope Julius II and the latest being Roman emperor Publius Aelius Hadrianus. The Homage to Hadrian pen collection features gold-coated cones and cap tops, a reflection of the Roman buildings commissioned by Hadrian. This year’s Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I continues to be a fantastic example of Montblanc’s expertise in pen making.
Moctezuma I (1398-1469) also known as Moctezuma Ilhuicamina was the second Aztec emperor and fifth king of Tenochtitlan, ruling from 1440 to 1469. Under his reign, Tenochtitlan, which is now the center of Mexico City, blossomed thanks to social, economical and political reforms. The limited edition designs are released as part of the Patron of Art Homage that honours the remarkable artistic and architectural achievements of Moctezuma I. To coincide with the release of the Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Editions, Montblanc is introducing a fine stationery notebook in red calfskin Saffiano leather embossed with traditional Aztec motifs.
The latest Montblanc Patron of the Art Limited Edition 2020 collection is their Ode to Moctezuma 1 the ruler, who has shaped the image of Aztec culture and remains a great inspiration to write our own legacy. I really hope that the glyphs that are on the side of the fountain pen were chosen for their content and not just for an artistic flair. Contacting a Mayan scholar such as Floyd G Lounsbury would have upgraded their end product. I will try to locate and contact his colleagues to spread the word as they should have sufficiently deep pockets to drop the penny. Limited to 87 pieces.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Lounsbury
Beginning in 1938 with his contributions to the Green Bay, Wisconsin-based Oneida Language and Folklore Project, while he was still an undergraduate, Floyd Lounsbury sustained a lifelong interest in indigenous languages—especially those, such as Oneida and Cherokee, in the Iroquoian family. His doctoral dissertation, published in 1953 as Oneida Verb Morphology, remains to this day the scholar’s bible for the basic structure and terminology of Iroquoian languages.
Iroquoian linguistics was not, however, Lounsbury’s only academic focus. He worked in acoustic phonetics and speech recognition; he refined new ways to teach linguistics, particularly with respect to field methods; he critiqued lexicostatistics and glottochronology; he wrote on the psychology of language; and he published on the history of anthropology. He was one of the most sought-after and influential anthropological linguists of his time.
Born and raised in Wisconsin farming communities, Lounsbury enrolled at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1932. He took nearly a decade to complete his undergraduate program because of the Great Depression’s economic necessities, but the extended period also allowed him to come in contact with a wide array of linguists and anthropologists and to adopt a thoughtful and measured approach to undergraduate education. Lounsbury majored in mathematics but also studied languages—primarily German but also Latin, Greek, Scandinavian languages, and Old Irish—along with phonetics, phonology, philology, and emerging theories of structuralist linguistics. After receiving his Ph.D. in anthropology from Yale University in 1949, Lounsbury accepted an appointment to its Department of Anthropology and remained at Yale until his retirement in 1979. Whether in classes, conferences, workshops, or personal conversation, Lounsbury’s students and colleagues considered him ever humble, generous, and insightful, with a prodigious memory for detail, a wide-ranging curiosity, and a formidable intellect.

Fountain Pen Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810. USD$13,000.00
Limited to 87 pieces.
www.montblanc.com/en-ca/collection/writing-instruments/pa...
Moctezuma I was crowned ruler of the great Aztec Empire in 1440, thereby ushering in the golden age of the Aztecs. During his reign, he shaped the image of the Aztec state that we are familiar with today – one rich in culture and mythology. The capital city of Tenochtitlán, today’s Mexico City, blossomed under his rule. The Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810 with champagne-tone gold-coated fittings is dedicated to this supreme ruler of one of the most special cultures in world history. The overall design is inspired by an "atlatl", an Aztec spear-throwing device. The shape of the cone, refined with a hammer finish, is based on an Aztec sacrificial knife with an obsidian blade. The lacquer colors – petrol and carmine red – are inspired by the colors of the royal cloak. Two hieroglyphs decorating the cap symbolize the years of Moctezuma I's reign. The handcrafted Au 750 solid gold nib is adorned with a fine engraving inspired by the Aztec glyph for the city of Tenochtitlán: a three-armed cactus with a royal diadem and two scrolls.
Features
Clip: Champagne-tone gold-coated clip
Barrel: Red lacquered barrel
Cap: Pattern on cap underneath translucent petrol lacquer
NIB: Handcrafted Au 750 / 18 K solid gold, champagne-tone gold-coated nib with special design.
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 8
This edition, which comprises just eight pieces, is all about the pageantry of Moctezuma I and the Templo Mayor. The pen features an 18-karat champagne-tone gold cap whose elongated shape is set with diamonds, garnets, green tsavorites and multi-coloured sapphires. It is also decorated with a hand engraving of the winged Huitzilopochtli, patron god of the Aztecs.
Three-dimensional engravings of an eagle and cactus represent the foundation myth of the Aztec capital, while the two double-headed snakes symbolize renewal, fertility and luck. The spear-shaped clip is embellished with a triangular-cut green jade, and the cap crown sparkles with a Montblanc diamond. The barrel of the writing instrument is made of dark red jasper, with 18-karat champagne-tone gold inlays.
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 87 - 2020
This version is limited to just 87 pieces in homage to 1987, the year when the Templo Mayor was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list. The Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 87 employs turquoise, which is a familiar stone used in Aztec decoration, and Central American cocobolo wood, a reference to the material used to make the traditional atlatl.
The mosaic is handcrafted, making every one of the pieces in the edition unique. The mother-of-pearl Montblanc emblem is embedded in an engraving of a traditional Aztec sun disc on the cap crown.
The handcrafted 18-karat gold gold nib is engraved with a glyph denoting the heart, a symbol of sacrifice. A further glyph engraved represents the second name of Moctezuma I: Ilhuicamina (meaning, “He who shoots an arrow into the sky.”).
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 888
The colors of this edition–turquoise and carmine–were used in fashioning royal garments. The sterling silver pen cap is artfully engraved with a traditional Aztec décor, and the lacquered barrel is engraved with a pattern again reminiscent of Moctezuma I’s cloak. It features four lines in 18-karat champagne-tone gold, evoking the directions that radiated from the Templo Mayor, the main temple and the literal center of the Aztec world.
The spear-shaped clip features an engraving of a quetzal’s feather, and it is set with a triangular-cut green jade. The forepart of the writing instrument and the cone are crafted from sterling silver, contrasting with the 18-karat champagne-tone gold fittings and the handcrafted solid gold nib. The Montblanc emblem, made of mother-of-pearl, is embedded in the engraving of an Aztec sun disk.
On. The right: Montblanc 888 Edition estimate C$3-4,000.00 plus tax.

~ Nadie sabe entender que quiero amanecer porque amaneces, que quiero anochecer porque anocheces, que quiero sonreir porque sonries, que entre tus brazos soy un alma libre, que tus palabras son mi relegión, mi luz tu voz, mi aire tu olor, que la luna está ocupada por aquel letrero en alza que subiste con tus labios para que siempre al mirarla supiera que piensas en mi. Nadie sabe entender que quiero darte cada segundo, que quiero crear contigo un mundo en el que nadie nos impida, nos aleje o nos prohiba, en el que nadie juzgue lo que merece la pena o no por alguno de los dos, en el que el tiempo no decida que te vayas o me vaya, en el que sepas que cada trozo de mi vida, cada gesto, cada risa es para tí.
The final collection of tickets in this series comes from North Devon - four of them for journeys to or from stations on the former GWR line from Taunton to Barnstaple, and one from Barnstaple to Fremington, the first station on the route to Bideford and Torrington.
The line from Barnstaple to Bideford, Torrington and on to Meeth is now part of the Tarka Trail, a long distance footpath and cycle track. Further details of walking and cycling opportunities along former railway routes in North Devon and Cornwall can be found in my book "Cycling the Withered Arm"

these two bits of grafitti are the best i've seen for ages. next to each other in edinburgh's old town. very true, both sentiments, i think.
Quite hard to read the writing on the back of this cdv. It appears to be George Brittain
There is a another photo on this album of Frances his sister so I am assuming this reads Brittain
George was born 22nd Dec 1860 in Beunos Aires Argentina and this picture was taken 22nd Aug 1862 in Hudddersfield. In 1871 he was living in Wincanton Somerset and 1881 and 91 in Tonbridge Wells Kent.
With his dress and girlish looks I thought at first this was a girl but as we know it was fashionable to dress boys in dress at this time.
This is a large album with spaces for cabinet and cdv photos. I cannot remember where I got this album from but I have had it for while and I am now scanning the photos onto flickr.
The front blue cover has a metal plaque in the centre with what appears to be the initials MB - possibly the owner of the album.
I have yet to identify who MB might be but it is possibly Matilda Brittain b 1829 who married a Henry Hinchliff.
The album has a no of photos from a very wealthy family who in census records the men are listed as gentleman or directors of companies. There is also a strong link with South America with photos many of mexico and of individuals who were born in Buenos Aires though in census records are detailed as British subjects
The sculpture returns to the idea of artistic creation as 'Big Bang' upside down, offering a visual and humorous contradition, a mental 'Big Crunch'.
