AQS, “Truth at any cost, M. K. Gandhi, Monte Mario, 12–13–31, Roma,” on a peach 6.25 x 3.75 album page featuring a stamp with his likeness. In fine condition, with light toning, a few stray marks, and an ink notation at the bottom of the signature in another hand. In December of 1931, Gandhi had traveled to Rome in hopes of gaining an audience with Pope Pius XI during his pursuit of Swaraj, hoping to enlist Catholica support; unfortunately, the date he requested, a Sunday, was revoked by the Pope, who cited it as a day of rest, and further expressed, “Gandhi might be ‘multo bravo’ as an individual, but that he didn’t see any particular reason why he should see him at the present juncture.”
