ROBERT OPPENHEIMER, SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH WITH ALBERT EINSTEIN

An original matte-finish photograph of Robert Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein, signed by Oppenheimer. This is one of only two signed photographs of Oppenheimer with Einstein.

This image comes from a series taken at Princeton in 1947 by renowned photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt for Life Magazine, after J. Robert Oppenheimer was named as director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Though this exact image was not published in Life Magazine's piece on the Institute in the issue of December 29, 1947, a very similar one was, captioned: “Einstein tells Oppenheimer about his newest attempts to explain matter in terms of space”.

A truly remarkable signed photograph connecting two of the most influential pieces of all time.

Size: Approximately 9.5 x 10 inches / 24 x 25 cm.

Condition: Fine condition, with creasing, primarily to the corners.

Provenance: From the collection of James Wiggins. Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA. Letter of Authenticity from Alexander Bitar History.
