This ink is a duplicate of DeAtramentis Standard Aubergine. De Atramentis Alexander Hamilton from the People-Politics collection is a deep purple ink with low shading and low gold sheen. It dries in 20 seconds in a medium nib on Rhodia and has a wet flow. De Atramentis ink is made in Germany.

Alexander Hamilton was a Founding Father of the United States, chief staff aide to General George Washington, one of the most influential interpreters and promoters of the U.S. Constitution, the founder of the nation's financial system, the founder of the Federalist Party, the world's first voter-based political party, the founder of the United States Coast Guard, and the founder of The New York Post newspaper. As the first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton was the primary author of the economic policies of the George Washington administration. Hamilton took the lead in the funding of the states' debts by the Federal government, the establishment of a national bank, a system of tariffs, and friendly trade relations with Britain. He led the Federalist Party, created largely in support of his views; he was opposed by the Democratic-Republican Party, led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, which despised Britain and feared that Hamilton's policies of a strong central government would weaken the American commitment to Republicanism.

This ink is made by hand in small batches, therefore there could be some color variation between bottles of ink.
