Is this signature written by hand directly onto the book, or is it a printed version of a handwritten signature? I want it to be the former, but my colleague thinks it's the latter.

It's of Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali poet and winner of the Nobel Prize for literature

A photograph of some printed text in a book, followed by what looks like a handwritten signature for Rabindranath Tagore.

Thanks for all the replies to this, and in particular to @overholt who suggested getting in touch with the New York Public Library. They were super efficient at sending back a photograph of the signature which is precisely identical so seems like it was printed. Which is not what I wanted to hear but glad we now know anyway....
