'Signed by Hand' displays images of a variety of autographed items, all of which provide the reader with a small window into the life and times of the autograph's creator. Sixty-six autographed inscriptions are presented in this little gem of a book, which echoes the nostalgic gilt-edged 'autograph books' of old. See here a cheque for 100 pounds signed by Charles Dickens to his two sons, who migrated to Australia where they opened their own stock and station agency; a Royal pardon signed by King George III on 18 December 1800, and a note by Oscar Wilde to Mr Cartwright, suggesting lunch at the Cafe Royal to discuss the Australian rights to his plays. There are autographs by singers, dancers and visual artists, authors and poets, scientists, explorers, governors and politicians, aviators, activists, sportsmen and women, and Royal family members. A foreword is written by writer, lawyer, broadcaster and former politician Barry Jones AO who is a serious collector of autographs.
