Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo by Roman Vishniac, housed in its original 8.25 x 10.25 presentation holder, signed on the bottom border of the holder in black ink, “Albert Einstein 1943,” and also signed on the border in pencil by the photographer. Moderate silvering to image, small area of paper loss to one edge of holder, a couple of light creases passing through signature, and signature a shade light, otherwise fine condition. Roman Vishniac photographed Einstein at his home in Princeton, New Jersey in 1942. He photographed him while Einstein was absorbed in thought instead of paying attention to the camera. Einstein later identified these portraits as his favorites of the many taken of him. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
