EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures an advertisement for the Watermans Ideal Fountain Pen, dating back to 1908-1909. The image is taken from Penroses Pictorial Annual 1908-1909, a renowned illustrated review of the graphic arts edited by William Gamble and published by AW Penrose in London. The advertisement showcases the exquisite artistry of this Edwardian era pen, set against a backdrop of a bustling cityscape. Dominating the skyline is a towering skyscraper, symbolizing progress and modernity. Its grandeur perfectly complements the elegance and sophistication embodied by the Watermans Ideal Fountain Pen. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the allure of this vintage piece, emphasizing its timeless beauty. The intricate details of both the pen and architectural elements are brought to life through expert drawing techniques employed by unknown creator (s). As we delve into history through this print collector's treasure, we are reminded of New York City's prominence as a hub for innovation during that era. This advertisement not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also reflects America's industrial prowess at that time. Although commercial use should not be mentioned here, it is worth noting that Lewis Edson Waterman was instrumental in revolutionizing fountain pens with his patented invention in 1884. His name became synonymous with quality writing instruments worldwide. Overall, this print encapsulates an extraordinary blend of artistry, architecture, and craftsmanship—a testament to human ingenuity during one of history's most transformative periods.
