Description

Original vintage matte-finish 3.75 x 5.5 silver gelatin photograph of Albert Einstein smiling in a close-up pose, with windswept hair and a striped scarf wrapped around his neck. In fine condition.

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.
