A very impressive lot of over 10,000 signatures, all contained in 79 autograph albums. Signatures date from between February 1, 1937 up to July of 1982. Most of the signatures are single page, with most in fountain pen, ink or felt tip and only very few in pencil. Some of the signers have added inscriptions. Each album is accompanied by a meticulous chronological listing of the signature and the date and location signature was obtained.
