Visconti is thrilled to announce the launch of the new Opera Demo 'Carousel' collection. The iconic design of the Opera Collection is enhanced by inspiration from the extravagant parties that took place at the Palace of Versailles. This world of sophistication and luxury made history for its embellished parties, colorful dresses, and theatrical hairstyles.
A carousel of colors: pink, green, blue, and red transport us to an eccentric palace party where high spirits and extravagance take center stage. This new collection stands out for its beautiful transparencies and bright colors that highlight the 'squaring of the circle' design of the iconic Visconti Opera. Patented in 2004, the squaring the circle design was inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci's 'Vitruvian Man' and is often admired as the perfect ergonomic shape for a writing instrument.
As always, Visconti excels at creating uniquely swirled resins, this time in 4 striking colors. Each Opera Demo color variant is a blend of three types of semi-transparent acrylic resin. The combination of these materials gives the pen its brightness and unique detailing. All metal fitting are finished in palladium and polished by hand. The fountain pen features Visconti's new in-house 14kt gold nib, available in EF, F, M, B, and Stub widths. The fountain pen features a new style piston rod, crafted from a very durable Acrylic Resin. The new rod is translucent and does not disrupt the view of ink in the new Opera Demo body when filled.
The fountain pen fills using Visconti's patented double reservoir power filler and features a second ink window round the ring of the pen behind the nib. The Opera Demo collection is available in fountain pen, rollerball, and ballpoint. The fountain pen and rollerball versions also feature Visconti's patented hook-safe lock closure.
Nib Material: 14K Gold
Filling Mechanism: Double Reservoir Power Filler

Interesting book about the flag that inspired the National Anthem
Format: Hardcover
Our Flag Was Still There: The True Story of Mary Pickersgill and the Star-Spangled Banner, written and illustrated by Jessie Hartland, was released just last month. I requested it from the library months ago... Unfortunately, it didn't make it to my hands before I published my 4th of July booklist, but I have it now, and it's wonderful!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our Flag Was Still There this tells the story of the flag that eventually our National Anthem. While I knew the story of Francis Scott Key’s inspiration, I didn’t know anything about the actual flag that he saw, nor did I realize that I’ve seen it myself. I didn't realize how big it was, how long it took to make, or that it was made largely by a group of women. And then I read this book!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this story is about so much more than just a flag. Through her words and illustrations, Hartland gives a little information about America's independence and the War of 1812, which led to the commissioning of this extra-large flag. We meet the widow, Mary Pickersgill, and her family and indentured servant, who worked together to make this enormous symbol of our country. Hartland introduces the British attack of Fort McHenry in Baltimore. And then we see Key, who witnessed the attack from a boat and penned a poem in honor of the victory and the American flag that was still flying proudly over the city. Finally, we learn about how Key's poem eventually became our national anthem, as well as what happened to her famous flag between 1814 and present-day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, Our Flag Was Still There teaches a little bit of history, but it also honors hard work and women from a time in history from which we know mostly men. I appreciate the relative simplicity of the illustrations, as many historical picture books have so much going on in the illustrations that it's hard to know where to look. Like me, you may appreciate knowing the history of the flag behind the song and the realization that you've seen that flag before (in the Smithsonian Museums)!

The story of a very big flag that inspired a song and a nation
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
Major George Armistead wanted to send a big message to the British, on their way to capturing Baltimore. It was 1813 and once again America and Britain were at war. Major Armistead wanted to say to the British: This land belongs to America. He needed a flag, a big flag, a flag over forty feet across. But who could make such a huge flag?
Mary Pickersgill could. With the help of the women in her shop, Mary Pickersgill did.
This is the story of the enormous American flag that now hangs in the Smithsonian. It's a reminder of Major Armistead's desire for America to be free. It's a reminder of the Star-Spangled Banner, our national anthem inspired by this flag.
What a wonderful tribute to this flag and the flag makers. I love the storytelling and the illustrations of Jessie Hartland.
