EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Photograph signed (‘Albert Einstein/1938’).
EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Photograph signed (‘Albert Einstein/1938’). 255 x 206mm, annotated at lower margin ‘32897’ (the ink take-up on the signature a little faint, the print rather creased and scratched with minor surface losses). An apparently unknown image, reminiscent of Lotte Jacobi's famous photograph of the same year, depicting the scientist seated in his distinctive leather jacket, gazing reflectively out of the window of his study at Princeton, the bowl of his pipe visible at right. The image shows Einstein in the leather jacket from which he was inseparable in the mid-1930s (see our sale on 13 July 2016, lot 149, £110,500). His pose – leather-jacketed, seated in his study, with the bookshelves behind – resembles Lotte Jacobi's well-known photograph taken for Life magazine in 1938 (but rejected by them as too informal), as well as two other images from the same year by an unacknowledged photographer in the Getty archive (Getty Images/AFP). The present image, however, seems to be unknown, and we have traced no previous publication.
