Yes, Voynich claims that he "applied chemicals" and the signature appeared at 
the bottom of f1r. Rene Z confirmed that there is a relatively clear photo of

If one suspects that Voynich may have forged it, then this only shows that 
there is a name in the page. Strictly it is not a proof that it was there at 
the time.
