Historically significant 1933 Yearbook from East Technical High School in Cleveland, Ohio, made famous by the graduation of the great athlete Jesse Owens.  9 1/4" x 11" yearbook features a photo of "East Tech's World Champion" Jesse Owens, which has been elegantly signed in red ballpoint by Owens.  In the page margin, someone has written some of Owens' track and field records.  The book does exhibit some edge toning and light wear related to age (don't we all?), but the signature is beautiful.  Just three years after the publication of this book, Owens would win four gold medals at the Olympics.  Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.
