Description

1911 Oxford undergrad registry signed by the 19 year-old future Lord of the Rings author

Desirable ink signature, "J. R. R. Tolkien, Exeter," on an off-white and lightly lined 7 x 8.25 guest book page, with upper left corner partially stamp-dated to October 20, 1911. The page features signatures of Oxford University undergraduates, as well as the names of their respective colleges. Double-matted and framed with a portrait of a young Tolkien to an overall size of 17.25 x 13.25; the page is not affixed within the frame and could be easily removed. In very good condition, with a central horizontal fold, and dampstaining to the bottom which does not affect the signature.
