Christopher Columbus?

Picked up the following signature of Cristobal Colon Duque De Veragua. From what little info I am able to find, it seems Cristobal was a relative of Christopher Columbus and was invited / visited the Chicago Columbian Exposition in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Columbus's arrival in the New World.

I am guessing the 1893 Chicago fair may be where the signature was acquired?

I thought it was interesting. Love to hear your thoughts?
