The signatures feature with no other text on a single page, on one side of a 15 x 18 cm leaf of thickish cream paper removed from an album. In fair condition, aged, and dusty, with slight pinkish-red staining on edges, and not near any of the signatures. The signatories are: 'Hugh Walpole', 'Dunsany' [Lord Dunsany], 'Alec Waugh/', 'V S Pritchett', 'Lionel Hale.', 'Norman Collins', 'Philip Jordan' [Philip Furneaux Jordan (1902-1951), journalist and author], 'A. G. Macdonell.', 'Ivor Brown', 'J. B. Priestley', 'C. S. Forester'. The two largest signatures are those of Walpole, at top left, and J. B. Priestley, the second from last, at foot. In contrast with Walpole's signature, Alec Waugh's beneath it is microscopic. On the reverse are the large bold signatures of the baritone 'H. Lane Wilson' and the soprano 'Pauline Donalda'.
