SFS Contest Picture of the Day Week 27

Greetings dear friends of Steemit and Steem Fashion&Style

Numismatic Society of Kolkata displayed a large number of dip pens from 1900 to 1950 including ink pods of bygone days.

Dr. Radhika Nath Saha who had 14 patents on fountain pens in four different countries in the beginning of the last century which is a huge thing and we didn't know that such a person existed. Of course Dr Sovan Roy did the research. He found out everything including the patents and rare photographs. Sovan also wrote a seminal book "Radhika Nath Saha The Unsung Hero of Indian Fountain Pen".

His interest in studying the history of Fountain Pen rather say Indian history of the fountain pen is incidental.

Dr sunit Kumar Roy, his deceased father and Sovan Roy developed interest in Indian Antiquity Indian history.

During the last Gregorian Century fountain pen history and the matters related to Fountain Pen, all these things were not a subject to study in the previous century.

We found that Elites of India used to keep costly foreign fountain pens with them as passion as status users.

Indian history of fountain pens was not properly known in the present Century collectors of Fountain paints particularly Indian Fountain paints gradually increased and there was a necessity to make a proper documentation of Indian fountain pens for the future generation because by this time plenty of Indian fountain pen brands have become extinct and as he had an interest in Indian Antiquity he concentrated on the subject of fountain pen history and in a broader perspective. The History of Science related to fountain pen in India he decided to make a proper documentation of lost Indian fountain pens.

Before I conclude I would like to invite three fellow Steemians to participate in the contest
