Secretarial example from around the same time. Collectors should take note especially of the differences in the "H" in Havilland. On very, very rare occasions de Havilland would sign an H on album pages that resembled the secretarial version, but normally it looked as it does in this sample and, indeed, her signature remained virtually identical over the next sixty or so years.
