Perhaps i spent too many hours looking but it looks like multiple signatures, a repeated pattern of english 'W.R' 4-5 times on the top line, maybe one 'WR' near the end of the 2nd line.
Did children practice their signatures then? Was a signature a thing back then?
I agree, initials. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. also seems to have WR going on, especially at the end, and both pages are the backs of quires. This makes me think this happened after the quires were made, while they were laying face down on a desk or table.
