Интереснейшие автографы звезд

It seems to us that truly famous people, legends for that matter, do everything in a special way. In some cases this is true. But a signature is such an ordinary thing for the average person. It would hardly have occurred to you that celebrities sign their names in a special way.

The signature of each person is an individual method of identification, which is carried out using a set of symbols written by hand. And celebrities are no exception. One of the most famous is the signature of John Hancock, former President of the US Congress. He was remembered by everyone for his huge, ornate signature on the US Declaration of Independence, so much so that the name John Hancock in America became a colloquial synonym for the word “signature.”

Various legends and myths subsequently began to appear around this outstanding signature. It was alleged that Hancock deliberately put such a large signature so that King George could read it without glasses. Another legend tells that Hancock was the only person to sign the declaration, with all the other members joining later.

The Internet has collected a collection of celebrity autographs that are not inferior to Hancock’s signature – if not in size, then in beauty. Some of them are very extravagant.
