EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Five photographs signed (‘Albert Einstein’) and inscribed, February 1936. Silver gelatin prints. 93 x 63 mm each. Mount: 379 x 317mm (short tear to mount at right margin). Presentation inscription by Einstein to a ‘Dr Schönberg’: ‘Diese kuriose Kollektion (kl[eine] Funffaltigkeit) Herrn Dr. Schönberg in Herzlichkeit zugeeignet’. A ‘ curious collection ’ , as termed by their subject, of portrait photographs, showing Einstein wearing a leather jacket in various attitudes: the somewhat offbeat appearance and unconventional presentation of Einstein in these five photographs, apparently taken during a photoshoot, is particularly appealing.
