Original vintage semi-glossy 4.75 x 7 silver gelatin photograph of Albert Einstein standing in his winter coat, his leonine mane tamed by a woolen cap, papers neatly tucked under an arm. In fine condition, with one tiny edge tear and minor edge rippling.
From the estate of Margaret Sanders Adams, the daughter of KFC founder Col. Harland Sanders; notably, she received several photographs from Einstein's executor Otto Nathan to use as reference material for her creation of a bust of Einstein.
Sanders documents her longstanding interest in Albert Einstein, her creation of Einstein's bust, her friendship with Otto Nathan, and his delivery of her 'open letter' to Einstein in her memoir, The Colonel's Secret: Eleven Herbs and a Spicy Daughter (pp. 186-239), published in 1996.
