Description

Signed during the genius’s 1925 trip to Argentina

Fantastic circa 1925 fountain pen signature, “A. Einstein,” on an off-white 4.75 x 3 album page, also signed by Argentine intellectuals Mauricio Nirenstein, Jorge Duclout, and several others. Matted to an overall size of 7 x 5.5. In fine condition.

In 1922, the University of Buenos Aires Council approved a proposal made by Professor Jorge Duclout, one of the earliest proponents of Einstein’s theory of relativity in the Argentine intellectual community, to invite Albert Einstein to Argentina for a lecture series. Dr. Mauricio Nirenstein, the university’s administrative secretary, organized the event and three years later, in March–April 1925, Einstein arrived in Buenos Aires. This visit was significant on many fronts—the press covered his pacifist activism, he lectured on physics within academic circles, and the Argentine-Jewish community embraced his presence. A compelling autographic piece from this historically important trip. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
