Exceedingly rare vintage heavy pencil signature inside a 5x7-inch booklet he composed on the subject of art history, dating to the 1930s. In good condition, with the autograph itself excellent for matting with a favorite photograph. Just the third example of his autograph we have ever encountered. Note that the image of the star shown here alongside the scan of the signature is not included.
