He evidently used the air-brush to arrive at a cold, metallic surface for the robot figures of his science-fiction fantasies” (Haworth-Booth, E. McKnight Kauffer, pp.56-7).

Autograph signature on 6 x 7in blank sheet of fine stationary, horizontal fold, a bit of edgewear, otherwise fine signature on very good paper.
Swiss Dr Eugene Matthias (1882-1958) can be considered one of the first sports scientists. Working with Swiss female gymnasts, he applied eugenics, measuring bodies rather than heads, to assert the positive effects of gymnastics to strengthen a given population. He further (mistakenly) believed that the strength gained through sports could be genetically passed on to descendants, and it was incumbent upon women to engage in vigorous execise to improve heredity. He later co-developed new technology for better, less dangerous control of skis.
