Here is a signed proof for a Mozart Cinderella. It is signed by the designer G Wimmer. https://flic.kr/p/248Giup" rel="nofollow">  https://flic.kr/p/248Giup" rel="nofollow - Mozart proof by https://www.flickr.com/photos/101603119@N05/" rel="nofollow - Spicer57 , on FlickrQI Fact: There is much confusion over Mozart's full name. He was formally baptised, in Latinised form (the rendering of non-Latin names in Latin style), Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus. From this array of names, Mozart, mainly, chose to use Wolfgang and the Latin equivalent of Theophilus (a word that comes from the Greek and means Love of God), Amadeus. |

This is a British Empire Air Mail essay one penny value. It is signed on the back but I can't read the signature. It appears to have some age. https://flic.kr/p/23oxb9Y" rel="nofollow">
