Princeton: np, 1950. Very Good. A beautiful photo of Einstein at work in his study, seemingly absorbed with his thoughts. The photographer, Hermann Landshoff, like Einstein, was a German-Jewish émigré who settled in the United States in the 1930s. His large body of work encompasses portraits of some of the most influential figures of the century. Landshoff was highly respected by his peers, with his work prompting the American photographer Richard Avedon to claim "I owe everything to Landshoff." Landshoff visited Einstein to photograph him several times in the 1940s and early 1950s, showing Einstein in quieter moments at his home or study in Princeton. With Landshoff's copyright stamp on verso marking this as a "Sample copy" and "Not for sale or reproduction." Also with Landshoff's signature on the original matte board. The original (non-archival) matte was removed during framing to better preserve the photo, but the signature was preserved and is now displayed on verso. Gelatin silver print… Read more

11/9/41. A generous demonstration by Einstein of his loyalty to friends and belief in the importance of musicDr. Theodor Rosenheim was a physician at the famed Medical University Clinic of the Charité in Germany in the 1880s. He was primarily concerned with the physiology and pathology of the digestive tract. He published an early textbook on the “Pathologie und Therapie der Krankheiten des Verdauungsapparates”. Rosenheim was one of the first in Germany to describe and publish on ulcerative colitis. He was intensively involved in the technical development of esophagoscopy and gastroscopy, which at that time were only possible with rigid instruments. The Rosenheim line, which was named after him, described the largest diagonal diameter of the gastric percussion figure.Rosenheim was appointed professor (extraordinarius) at Berlin University in 1921. He also founded a polyclinic and a private sanatorium for stomach and intestinal patients. He was well respected in Berlin and his private practice… Read more

12/12/30. We obtained this photograph directly from the Guard heirs, and it has never before been offered for saleIn December 1930, Albert Einstein visited America for the second time. It was originally intended as merely a two-month working visit as a research fellow at the California Institute of Technology, but Einstein’s popularity made the trip headline news. After arriving in New York City, Einstein was taken to various places and events, including Chinatown, a lunch with the editors of The New York Times, and a performance of Carmen at the Metropolitan Opera on December 12, where Einstein, an opera buff who revered Mozart, Bach, and other great composers, was cheered by the audience on his arrival.William Guard was engaged by the Manhattan Opera Company as a press representative upon its organization in 1906. Upon the company's dissolution, he took a similar position with the Metropolitan Opera, remaining with the company until his death in 1932. Einstein met Guard at his office on his visit… Read more

5/11/19. A remarkable letter before his great fame, referencing and shown to Marie Curie Einstein, who helped free so many from the jaws of Nazism, makes an impassioned plea for a World War I German POW in France, who would escape but later die in the HolocaustIn 1905, while a young patent clerk and physicist in Bern, Switzerland, Albert Einstein obtained his doctorate and published a paper that explained his newly developed Special Theory of Relativity. This unlocked many mysteries of the universe, and introduced the world to the idea equating mass and the speed of light with energy, which we know today as e=mc2. Einstein's insight, and one element that distanced his work from that of Newton, was to recognize that mc2 was the proper energy of mass, the energy associated with that mass, and was independent of its motion. Mass must be measured in this way as resting mass. This was a foundation of e=mc2. The breakdown of molecules therefore released energy. This energy is often used by cells to… Read more

17/02/1953. In this letter from Einstein to David Bohm, Einstein discusses the importance of connecting a key principle of the relatively new theory of quantum mechanics (the “Born interpretation”) to physical quantities that can be measured in the real world. To him, it is essential that mathematical theories be connected to measurable quantities. In this letter, Einstein’s uneasiness with quantum mechanics is apparent, saying that validation of the seemingly random quantum mechanics “…can only be done on the basis of classical mechanics.” Without this validation, quantum theory has essentially “no controllable meaning.” Max Born was a renowned physicist who was crucial for the development of quantum mechanics (and also the Ph.D. supervisor of many important physicists including J. Robert Oppenheimer). Quantum mechanics describes the weird behavior of tiny subatomic particles. It’s also the guiding theory that led to critical technologies like nuclear power, MRI machines, and… Read more
