Author: ADDAMS, Jane (1860-1935)
Title: Photograph Signed
Description: This pioneering social worker, activist, philanthropist, suffragette, writer, founder of Chicago's famed Hull House, was the first American female to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (1931); in 1910 she published her remarkable memoir, "Twenty Years at Hull-House." Handsome PS, heavy stock 8" X 10", n.p. n.y. Very good. Faintest of wear only. Well-known half-length portrait of the reformer in later years, taken by Moffett in 1924 (so noted in lower left corner of image), showing an unsmiling Addams gazing straight at the viewer. Along the blank lower margin, she pens, "Faithfully from Jane Addams," the ink lightening somewhat as the writing progresses. Quite attractive -- and scarce. .
