Elegant images of elegant objects.

I've been noticing people around me using fountain pens, including two
physicians who scribble prescriptions with their fountain pens.  I like
an amber Pelikan Demonstrator.  It's nothing fancy, but smooth and 
you can see the near-quart of ink inside the clear piston.

Fountain Pens.  Just another anachronism, refusing to go away in the face 
of technologically and economically superior disposable bics and biros.
