Russian geographer, zoologist, and political theorist (1842–1921) best known for his advocacy of anarchist communism. AQS in German on a beige 6 x 9.5 sheet of Hull House, Chicago letterhead. Kropotkin quotes Goethe, translated, in full: “Only he deserves freedom and life who must battle for them daily,” signed at the conclusion, “P. Kropotkin, April 18, 1901.” Letterhead is affixed to a larger sheet beside various vintage clippings and an inked translation of the quote, all housed in an original Prince Kropotkin presentation folder, to an overall size of 10.5 x 13. In very good condition, with various blocks of toning and a thin, lighter rectangular area framing the quote. Kropotkin was staying at Hull House as a guest of Jane Addams, the social reformer and first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Most of the accompanying vintage newspaper clippings refer to that visit.
