  Who was Audubon
John James Audubon was a French-American ornithologist, naturalist, hunter, and painter. He painted, catalogued, and described the birds of North America in a form far superior to what had gone before.
He lived in early XIX Century, and is the author of "Birds of America", a monumental work of 435 hand-colored, life-size prints of 497 bird species.
Krone celebrates John James Audubon and his passion for birds with a striking writing instrument.
The Audubon pen
The slightly bulged shaped mother of pearl barrel is artfully painted with an array of Audubon's birds in a tranquil outdoor setting. Hand painted in great detail by Russian miniature painters. The mother of pearl background give a luminous look and a three-dimensional effect.
 
The sterling silver cap and blind cap are etched in relief, depicting highly detailed bird feathers, which so much fascinated this adventurous painter.
Hidden atop the cap is a special flip-top which opens to reveal a miniature hand painted three-dimensional; a painted Bunting under a bright blue sky.Il cappuccio e la parte terminale della penna sono invece in argento massiccio 925 inciso in rilievo con un disegno minuzioso di piumaggio complesso, che tanto affascinava questo avventuroso pittore.
It's not a musical box, and it doesn't move.
