It is very satisfying to frequently hear from the recipients of gifts from our gallery that no other gift compares to the thrill they experience when seeing the handwriting and personal signature of an admired historical personality. It strongly evokes the sense that these people in history were actually real. What can be read in books, or seen in photographs, is never as compelling as holding an original autograph or signed letter. These bring to life historical figures in a way that nothing else can.
