'Truth is what stands the test of experience' EINSTEIN ALBERT: (1879-1955) German-born Theoretical Physicist, Nobel Prize winner for Physics, 1921. An exceptional, large vintage signed and inscribed 15 x 17 photograph by Einstein, the gelatin silver print by Yousuf Karsh depicting Einstein in a pensive head and shoulders pose with his hands slightly raised and clasped before him. Signed by Einstein in white fountain pen ink to the lower right corner of the image, 'To Mr. Gabriel D. Haver, A. Einstein', and dated 1951 in his hand. Einstein has further added an autograph quotation in his hand above his signature, in full, 'Truth is what stands the test of experience'. Also signed by Karsh in white fountain pen ink to the lower left corner. A small series of surface creases (causing a few small cracks in the image) to the left edge, above Einstein's hands, and with a few other more minor surface and corner creases, none of which affect Einstein's signature, quotation or image. Signed photographs of Einstein of this size and quality are extremely rare and desirable and the present example is greatly enhanced by Einstein's addition of an English quotation. About VG This well known image of Einstein was captured by Karsh at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study in 1948, just a few years before the physicist signed the present example. The International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum in Missouri describes Karsh's sitting witth Einstein,'Now as an old man, in poor health, he [Einstein] still spent a few hours each day in his office working on the third edition of his book The Meaning of Relativity. Karsh found him in his office in wrinkled clothing, sock less shoes with wild uncombed hair. He was not happy with the wool coat he was wearing so he sent an assistant to find something else. He returned with a sweater. After putting it on Karsh offered him a comb for his hair and Einstein replied "I never use one" and none dared to suggest that he should. Using gentle lighting and posing him with a contemplative look he wanted him to look benevolent. Karsh was known for asking questions of the subjects of his portraits and many times he would voice record the sessions. He asked Einstein what would the world be like were another atomic bomb to be dropped, he replied wearily, "Alas we will no longer be able to hear the music of Mozart." Einstein's quotation is an English version of the last sentence of his foreword to Relativity: A Richer Truth (1950) by Philipp Frank. The book was published by the Beacon Press of Boston in 1950 and by Jonathan Cape of London in 1951, the same year in which Einstein signed the present photograph. IAA Ltd would like to extend their thanks to Barbara Wolff, Information Officer of the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, for her assistance in cataloguing the present lot.
