Pen - Jane Austen

Pen - Jane Austen
"I have had my pen in my hand to begin a letter to you almost every day since you left Bath..."
This is a Swiss made silver ballpoint pen which writes in blue ink. The pen itself bears an image of Jane Austen, plus it has 'Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)' printed down the side. It comes in an attractive box, bearing the same image; a detail from the engraving commisioned by J.E Austen-Leigh for the frontispiece of his 'Memoir of Jane Austen', in 1870.
