Charles Dickens

Diane Simpson handwriting consultant has analysed the below signature for The National Archives. Please note that this is not the official view of The National Archives.

"Small, speedy, simplified writing with a lot of rather clever connections followed by a large somewhat ornate signature. A highly detail conscious individual with strong communication skills and a real single-mindedness of purpose. Well aware of his own capabilities and strengths this was a man with many goals and the will to make things happen."
