Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 13 x 10" black and white photo matted to 14 x 11", and framed to 15 x 11.5". Nice condition, not examined out of frame, but a similar Karsh photo of Schweitzer (from same collection) is taped to mat and has an inkstamped "No ___ Karsh, Ottawa" on reverse (with number inked-in). Photo shows a smiling Schweitzer with his hand under his chin, his elbow resting on top of a bookcase; not a photo often reproduced in Karsh monographs. Under the photo is SIGNED "c. Y KARSH OTTAWA". We will remove the photo from the frame for shipping (it's a cheap wooden frame, anyway).

First edition of this Einstein biography written by Rudolf Kayser, a German literary historian and husband to Albert Einstein's stepdaughter Ilse under the pseudonym Anton Reiser. Octavo, original cloth, frontispiece of Einstein. Signed and dated by Einstein in the year of publication on the front free endpaper, "Albert Einstein 1930." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Rare signed and in the original dust jacket. Albert Einstein developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best known in popular culture for his massâ"energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation"). He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his "services to theoretical physics", in particular his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect, a pivotal step in the evolution of quantum theory (David Bodanis).

framed. Condition: Fine. ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED IMAGES OF EINSTEIN, SIGNED BY MASTER PHOTOGRAPHER, YOUSUF KARSH. On February 11, 1948, Yousuf Karsh, perhaps the most accomplished portrait photographer of his generation, visited The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton to fulfill a dream of his: to photograph Albert Einstein. As he later explained: "Among the tasks that life as a photographer had set me, a portrait of Albert Einstein had always seemed a 'must' - not only because this greatest refugee of our century has been accounted by all the world as the [most] outstanding scientist since Newton, but because his face, in all its rough grandeur, invited and challenged the camera." (Karsh: Beyond the Camera, David Travis, ed.). "At Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, I found Einstein a simple, kindly, almost childlike man, too great for any of the postures of eminence. One did not have to understand his science to feel the power of his mind or the force of his personality" (official Karsh website). "Awed before this unique intellect, I yet ventured to ask Einstein his views on human immortality. He mused for a moment and then replied, 'What I believe of immortality? There are two kinds. The first lives in the imagination of people and is thus an illusion. There is a relative immortality, which may conserve the memory of an individual for some generations. But there is only one true immortality, on a cosmic scale, ant that is the immortality of the cosmos itself. There is no other.' "He spoke of these ultimate mysteries as calmly as he might a student's question about mathematics - with such an air of quiet confidence, indeed, that I found his answer profoundly disturbing to one who held other views. Knowing him to be an accomplished violinist, I turned the conversation, and asked if there were any connection between music and mathematics. 'In art, he said, 'and in the higher ranges of science, there is a feeling of harmony which underlies all endeavour. There is no true greatness in art or science without that sense of harmony. He who lacks it can never be more than a great technician in either field.' "Was he optimistic about the future harmony of mankind itself? He appeared to ponder deeply and remarked in graver tones: 'Optimistic? No. But if mankind fails to find a harmonious solution than there will be disaster on a dimension beyond anyone's imagination.' To what source should we look for the hope of the world's future? 'To ourselves,' said Einstein. He spoke sadly yet serenely, as one who had looked into the universe far past mankind's small affairs. In this humor my camera caught him. the portrait of a man who had traveled beyond hope or despair." (Yousuf Karsh, Regarding Heroes). (Opening quote from: Colin Naylor, ed., Contemporary Photographers.) Silver print. Photo taken Princeton, 1948. Printed later. Signed by Karsh in full beneath the image on photographer's mount. With Karsh's original calling "card" - a 4x10 inch cardboard slip - included. Image: 8x9 inches. Framed to an overall size of 12x15 inches. Fine condition.

Condition: Good. Etching on Old Japanese Paper. 30 x 23 cm. on sheet size 40 x 32 cm.Light foxing and folds in the margins.Signed in pencil by Büttner lower right and by Einstein lower left. Indistinct pencil annotations above Einstein's' signature.Provenance: A Berkeley academic family.Porträt von Albert Einstein. Radierung auf Bütten. Rechts unten von Erich Büttner, links unten von Albert Einstein signiert.At the beginning of the years Einstein suffers from various illnesses (among other things from a liver disease and a stomach ulcer). His cousin Elsa takes care of him. It will last several years until he recovers completely. He writes a work on cosmology with the cosmologic term which shall guarantee a limited universe. He will refer to this cosmologic term later as his "biggest idiocy". He takes over the management of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics on October 1.

Hands, Arthur. PORTRAIT OF PRINCE ALBERT, LATER DUKE OF YORK, LATER KING GEORGE VI OF ENGLAND. Gelatin Silver print with skillful highlighting and retouching, not dated, but likely circa 1915+/-. A head-and-shoulders 3/4 to full-faced portrait of the young Duke, in military or military school uniform, smiling. Affixed to a mount within a paper folder. Signed and inscribed by Wanstead photographer Arthur Hands "Copied only by/Arthur Hands/Wanstead" implying that Hands, whose studio was known for house portraits and photos of well-to-do children, did not take the photo, but made this print. 8 5/16 x 5 15/16 inches (photo), 14 x 10 inches (mount and folder). In excellent condition. Our guess is that this is a photo of the future King in his Student days.
