NEW VISCOUNT EROTIC ART COLLECTION - CASANOVA LIMITED EDITION FOUNTAIN PEN - CHOICE OF MEDIUM OR BROAD NIBS

EROTIC ART COLLECTION

A collection of pens devoted to erotic art and inspired by... the pocket watch!

In the olden days, pocket watches had opening cases whose covers concealed an erotic picture on the inside. We have created a pen which, just like a watch, has a barrel divided into two sections that allow access to its mechanical parts and conceals an erotic painting on the inside. Concealing an erotic picture might raise a smile in an era when nudity is so freely available on the web, but we liked the idea and it harks back to an age when there was less pornography but possibly far more eroticism!

Nor did Visconti stop at just a picture. Thanks to technology, we have also built a touch of healthy voyeurism into each pen. A keyhole pierced just behind the clip allows aspiring peeping Toms to view an erotic scene made by laser using nanotechnology.

Visconti has chosen three themes that we consider to be classics of eroticism as an art form: Casanova, Shunga, and the Kamasutra.

Casanova, the great Venetian lover represents the typically Italian and extremely romantic and elegant "whispered" eroticism that was so popular in high society in the late 18^th and early 19^th centuries;

Shunga, a Sino-Japanese form of erotic art dating from the 17^th to the 19^th centuries were fully-fledged erotic instruction manuals intended for young wives as a form of sex education, but also for troops setting out for war;

And the Kamasutra needs neither introduction nor explanation. One has but to recall that while sexual liberation hit the West in the 1970s, it had occurred in India 2,000 years earlier if we consider that the Kamasutra was written sometime between 400 BC and 200 AD!
