Hardcover 1945 book "Up the Stream of Time" is signed by Viscountess Byng of Vimy, the woman who presented the Lady Byng Trophy to the National Hockey League in 1925 when her husband was the Governor General of Canada. "Evelyn Byng of Vimy" reads the regal autograph in flowing fountain pen below her name on the cover page, opposite her photo portrait. The book has its original MacMillan slipcover which sheathed in plastic. The NHL presented a new trophy after her death in 1949, changing the name to the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy. An extremely rare signature, one usually absent from even the most complete collections. The book’s cover and slipcover exhibit some handling around the edges, otherwise very nicely preserved. The pages are clean, including the autographed cover page.
