Cetshwayo famously led the Zulu nation to victory against the British in the Battle of Isandlwana in January 1879. An exceptionally rare dark fountain pen ink signature ('CETYWAYO') on an oblong 12mo card. Attractively matted in ivory with decorative borders beneath a colour reproduction image of a painting of Cetshwayo by Karl Rudolf Sohn and framed and glazed in a modern wooden frame to an overall size of 11.5 x 13.5. Together with a large portion of a 12mo envelope which originally contained the signature, annotated in fountain pen ink 'Cetywayo's signature…..Given by Col. Hassard'. Autographs of Cetshwayo are extremely rare in any form. One very small, extremely minor stain just above one letter of the signature, VGColonel Charles Fairfax Hassard (1822-1900) British Army officer who commanded the Royal Engineers in South Africa and served as second in command to Frederic Thesiger, 2nd Baron Chelmsford, during the Anglo-Zulu War. Hassard was Cetshwayo's gaoler when the Zulu chief was held captive at Cape Town. Provenance: The present signature was formerly part of the Ray Rawlins collection of autograph letters and historical documents and is illustrated in his Guinness Book of World Autographs (1977). The signature was sold by Sotheby's in their sale of the Rawlins collection on 2nd, 3rd & 4th June 1980 (lot 298, Estimate £100-150, Hammer price £180) and has not appeared on the market since. We have been unable to locate any other signature, letter or document of Cetshwayo as ever having previously appeared at auction.
