Stevenson,” on an off-white 1.75 x .75 slip displayed in a 6.75 x 8.5 custom-made mat bearing four affixed Samoan postage stamps, one of which depicts Stevenson. A collector’s note at the bottom reads, in part: “This signature is from a book given by Stevenson to the only photographer in Samoa.” In fine condition, with uniform toning and a pinhole at the top of his second initial.
