Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from With Thackeray in America All readers of Thackeray know his delightful imaginary conversation-verses between "The Pen and the Album," written before his travels in the United States, and the concluding lines: - "Stranger! I never writ a flattery, Nor sign´d the page that register´d a lie." "The faithful old Gold Pen," to which he assigns these two noble qualifications of unswerving truthfulness, and which he then adds had served him already for three long years in making his sketches, was part of his equipment of materials taken to the States. When it was not in his own grasp he allowed me to take it up for my sketching lucubrations, which were for the most part executed with its wondrously flexible and seemingly indestructible nib.
