American ethologist (1932-1985) who earned worldwide renown for her intimate studies of gorillas in the mountain forests of Rwanda. She was murdered under still-uncertain circumstances likely related to her uneasy relationship with Rwandan locals who saw her as a threat to the gorilla-related tourist and exportation industry. Uncommon felt tip signature and inscription, "With best wishes to Bob Epler, Dian Fossey,” on an off-white 3 x 5 card bearing a small affixed image clipped from a book. In fine condition, with light staining to the image caption.
