Enrico Fermi Signed Postcard - 1938
Fountain pen signature, “Enrico Fermi,” on the correspondence side of an off-white 3.25 x 5.5 postcard. In very good condition, affixed to a same size card, expected postal cancellations (affecting the last name of the signature), and scattered light soiling and toning. The pasted-over reverse side reveals the postmark September 1, 1938, the auspicious year in which Fermi won the Nobel Prize for Physics at the age of 37. Includes UACC Dealer Certificate of Authenticity.
