Investigative news reporter, born Elizabeth Jane Cochran (1864–1922), who feigned insanity to get into an asylum to write an exposé, and in 1889, in an attempt to beat the fictional record in Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days, she circled the globe in about 72 days, 6 hours. Ink signature, “Very sincerely yours, Nellie Bly, Boston, March 2, 1890,” on an off-white 6.5 x 8 album page. In fine condition, with some light edge toning, and mild show-through from a signature on reverse.
