<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4508106, member: 8267"]It looks to be all original calligraphy, not printed, (you can see slight variations in the letters), and so may be a unique item. As Beauchamp appears to have signed the page with the monograph, I would guess he was the calligrapher, perhaps transcribing the addresses given at a memorial service, and may have presented the bound volume to the Edison family as a memento. It must somehow have reverted to Beauchamp, (or it was never presented).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
