Anything original from Barbara McClintock is rare. Her signature is one such 'unfound' rarity.
There are 2 photographs (along with the signature). One is a small 3 x 4.5 inch photo. The other is a press photo taken in 1983 where Barbara McClintock is with William Golding. This is a 7 x 9 inch press photograph.
The piece with the signature is 5.5 x 3.5 inches where McClintock's signature is centered with bold black ink.
Both the signature card and photographs are in perfect shape with no rips or tears.
You will treasure this piece of actual history forever. As you probably know Dr. McClintock won the Nobel Price in Medicine, in 1983. She is classically known for her work with jumping genes (genetic transposition) in corn. In addition she demonstrated the role of the telomere and centromere. She is the only woman in history to receive an unshared Nobel Prize in that category.
