Clarifying source

[edit]

Just to save some effort for anyone else who's suspicious about the legitimacy of this signature based on the mysterious URL provided as the source, here's another file with clearer provenance (Henry Stanley's "The First Voyage Round the World, by Magellan") which shows the same signature: File:First Voyage Round The World Signatures 2.png. Apparently the signature itself ultimately originates from a 1518 letter from Magellan to King Charles. Colin M (talk) 00:59, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
