Is this signature written by hand directly onto the book, or is it a printed version of a handwritten signature? I want it to be the former, but my colleague thinks it's the latter.
It's of Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali poet and winner of the Nobel Prize for literature
@prabirkc@histodons thank you for your reply. Somebody on here replied to say they found a copy at New York public library, so I have contacted them to see if they can send me a photograph to compare the signature. It certainly looks different to the signatures that you found...It was published in 1938 and is a memorial address to Jagadish Chandra
Happy Independence Day to India! May you continue to show the world your beauty, strength, and wisdom.

Every year, the university would have a ceremony to raise the flag (one of the largest in India). The flag area was the center of campus and frequently had events and ceremonies for the university.
Pictured here from the LSE Library archives is Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the first President of Bangladesh, meeting Peter Shore (Labour MP) at Heathrow Airport in 1973. They met on several occasions in due course, and Shore was very fond of him.
