to illustrate the object in question

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Rationale: It was customary that the Kings and Queens of the United Kingdom sign with their first name and the initials "RI" (R for rex/regina meaning "king/queen"; I for imperator/imperatrix meaning "emperor/empress") until they lost their status as Emperor of India, when the "I" was dropped. Edward VIII's signature became simply "Edward" after he abdicated. The crop of the signature shows that.

Source: READ THE FLAMING PAGE!!!! It is written on it. It is a crop by me of a public domain scan Image:Edward abdication.png already on WP.
