A readable name ending in a large lower loop
The two words remain recognizable, with tall initial strokes above a relatively low sequence of joined letters. The first opening curves outward to the left, and the surname's capital spreads across a wider area near the middle. At the far right, the ending curls down into a large rounded loop below the name. Read the words first, then compare that lower finish with the restrained small forms that precede it.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.88×, while the whole image is 4.70 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes above the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.
Loops and the lower flourish
The sample contains 5 enclosed loops and 7 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
David Attenborough’s signature in graphology
