As if this horse has not been beaten enough, here are 3 more for discussion. Above are sigs with a J that does not flow over the "erry" and quite abbreviated "Ls"on Lee and Lewis.

Compare the formation of "Lewis" in the last image to this one. It doesn't have the abbreviated "L", but the "L" in "Lee" does.

The curve in the downward stroke in the above Lewis (from album) matches the L in Lee in your book example.

It does indeed. Look at the dash over the "I" in the signature on the contract.

I don't think this book signature looks anything like the 3 above at all... Obviously the top 2 are sloppy as hell, however they have clear "flow" and look like a very quick signature. I also don't see one similarity in "Lewis" IMHO. I know nothing of JLL, just outsider perspective.

You say that you know nothing of JLL, and yet you've determined that the book signatures aren't authentic.

The books do not match up at all with the "known authentic" exemplars provided in this discussion IMHO from a pure handwriting perspective. There are characteristics of the signature that are identical to the known "Whitten" examples that Roger provided...

Okay. Now, what if those "known Whitten examples" were actually signed by JLL? What would you think then?

I guess I shouldn't say "known Whitten examples", as Roger's post simply said ones that were "brought in by Whitten". I don't know who the hell Whitten is to begin with, but those "brought in by Whitten" look vastly different from the IP examples, to the point of where I don't think there is a chance they are done in the same hand at all.

So the style has changed again (or are we now just seeing Whitten sigs?). Chad, what are the origins of these items?

The three I posted are from RRAuction and Roger certed them. I agree with his call on all three. It is just more proof of the variety found in his signature. Here is another one with spacing consistent with the books and has a J that does not carry over the erry part of the signature.
