Pelikan continues its journey through historic poster art. In this Deep Dive, we analyze the sophisticated Aurora process of the new M600 Georg Tippel and reveal how a prize-winning illustration from 1899 is brought to life through intricate guilloché patterns on precious resin—a must-read for any connoisseur of Pelikan’s heritage.
In the world of fine writing, few brands bridge the gap between historic art and modern craftsmanship as seamlessly as Pelikan. With the release of the third edition of the Art Collection, we dive deep into a story that began over 125 years ago.
At the heart of this Special Edition lies a piece of Pelikan’s early visual heritage: Georg Tippel’s 1899 poster “Grundfarben”. Created for Pelikan's very first poster competition—an initiative by visionary Fritz Beindorff—this artwork marks the dawn of modern advertising art.
The motif of a pelican nurturing its young is more than just an image; it is a symbol of devotion, responsibility, and trust—values that have shaped Pelikan for 185 years.
What makes this M600 a true "Deep Dive" subject is the technical execution of its barrel. Pelikan has not simply printed a poster onto a pen; they have transformed it through the sophisticated Aurora process.
As a Souverän® M600, this edition combines Pelikan's renowned precision with a balanced size that suits almost every hand.
The M600 Art Collection Georg Tippel is more than a writing instrument; it is a tangible piece of Pelikan’s heritage. It celebrates the era when avant-garde artists like El Lissitzky and Kurt Schwitters defined the brand's visual culture.
For those who value the dialogue between art and craftsmanship, this edition—available from May 2026—is a cornerstone for any serious collection.
