Description

Theologian, humanitarian, and physician (1875–1965) remembered for establishing a hospital in Lambarene, Gabon, and for receiving the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophy of 'Reverence for Life.' Leaflet entitled "Dr. Albert Schweitzer and His Work," two pages, 4.75 x 7.25, providing a brief overview of his humanitarian efforts, signed on the 'Hospital Fund' donation blank on the reverse in fountain pen, "Albert Schweitzer." In fine condition, with a central horizontal fold, and small mounting remnants to corners.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
