This signature is believed to be ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it falls below the required level of originality for copyright protection both in the United States and in the source country (if different). In this case, the source country (e.g. the country of nationality of the signatory) is believed to be สหรัฐ.
Note that this tag cannot be used on all signatures, as not all signatures are copyright-free.
The book was published in the US in 1946 and after the death of the author the copyright was not renewed so the book and all photographs are irrevocably in public domain around the world.
