Angell handwrote the address on this envelope, postmarked in 1932 in New York
City, to a Mrs. Wainwright of Scranton, Pennsylvania. This was postmarked the

Prize.
Autograph envelope unsigned. 7½x3¾. Red 2¢ George Washington stamp affixed,
postmarked Grand Central Annex (New York City), New York, February 10, 1932.
Addressed to "Mrs Wainwright/912 Clay Avenue/Scranton/Pa." This
envelope was postmarked the the year after Angell was knighted and before he
received the Nobel Prize for Peace. Angell maintained a fairly sizable
correspondence with this unidentified "Mrs. Wainwright", who would often open
her home to him when he was in the Scranton, Pennsylvania area. In 1910,
British journalist Angell (1872-1967, born Ralph Norman Angell-Lane in
Holbeach, Lincolnshire, England) rose to fame with The Great Illusion,
in which he reasoned that the common economic interests of nations make war
futile. Knighted in 1931, Angell was awarded the 1933 Nobel Peace
Prize. He also invented the Money Game, which were card games designed to
teach its players about currency and credit. He continued to write and lecture
into the 1950s. Lightly toned, soiled and creased. Stained at blank left edge.
Torn open at top with small tears in top edge. Otherwise in fine
