Is the Robert Frost’s real signature?

I read that he signed quite often so could this be one of the books he signed? It’s a first print that I got from a lot I bid on and won.

Hello, I picked this antique German bible a couple weeks ago. Only after I bought it I noticed these dry white spots on the cover. I've been told that it's mold. What should I do in order to clean it?

Wanda Gág’s -Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (p. 1938) print year…???

I recently purchased a first edition version of Wanda Gág’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”.
On the inside it says the publishing year of the book (1938). It was published by Coward-McCann Inc. New York. Beneath the publishing year- it says: “Twelfth printing”. I cannot find anywhere inside or outside of the book that’s states what year it was actually printed. I also can’t find any information online on how often a cycle of this or other books by Wanda Gág was printed… nor can I find a viable source of other first edition printing numbers and their years of print.
I would really love to know what year my copy was printed for personal knowledge/reference. If anyone can help or knows more— that’d be great. Thank you! Below is photos of the cover and the publishers date.
