Vintage matte-finish 9.25 x 7 1892 Schweitzer family portrait outside their Günsbach home by Zahneissen, including the then 17-year-old Schweitzer, signed and inscribed in the lower left border in blue ink in French, “To Dr Charles Joy, A. Schweitzer 22.5.49.” Those pictured are identified by Albert Schweitzer, in French, “A Schweitzer, Pastor Louis Schweitzer, his three daughters, Mme Schweitzer, Paul Schweitzer, the dog Turck.” Schweitzer has also written in the narrow lower border, “Portrait made for Eugene Debs, American cousin of my mother 1892?” Signature a bit cramped, and moderate contrast to beginning of notation along bottom, including second signature, otherwise fine condition. Debs (1855-1926) organized America’s first industrial union, the American Railway Union, and was also a five-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party.
