Description

Penetrating oversized 1935 Einstein portrait

Vintage matte-finish 8.25 x 11 photo of Einstein bathed in soft light, taken by Arthur Johnson circa 1935, signed and inscribed in the lower border in fountain pen “To Mrs. Rachel Sephardi Yarden, Albert Einstein 1936.” Photo also bears a white ink photographer’s notation to lower right. Photo is matted to an overall size of 10.25 x 14. In fine condition, with Einstein’s signature and inscription fairly light, but still completely legible.
