If that is Elizabeth it looks like she signed for Richard. Something seems off. I post my 1965 Burton:

Here is my restaurant register signed by the pair, for comparison.  Roughly, the same era as Eric’s photo.

Thanks for the pics i have seen the restauramt one.

Mine looks the same but more rushed.

I have had other opinions and  both sigs  are good.

Tks

So she signed the dedication & inscription, handed it to Richard, and then signed it herself? That seems strange. Not the greatest scan as well.

Who knows what goes on in each situation. We will never know

More likely he signed it first and she added later.

Anyway the Burton museum here in Wales has autheticated and also alan Pritchard the Burton archivist at Ponthydyfryn.

Thanks for the input i will buy i think

I am liking your Burton Photo 

His signature changed up and down over the years and dependant on the state he was in

Here is one of mine from 1982

Yes mine was obtained personally by myself at New Theatre Cardiff 1982  he wasnt scheduled to be there so there were no fans waiting  luckily for me they were filming a documentary about him so the cameras were on and it looked  good thst he stopped to sign!!

Is yours on a photo or magazine photo

Nice early signature

It is the usual signed doubleweight English postcard - gelatin silver matte finish photograph and stunning condition and sig. That is great you got to meet him. $140 sounds impossible IMO.

Yes met him three times. Legend.

140 pounds not dollars.  Not sure what the exchange rate is
