Exquisite matte-finish 9 x 7.25 candid photo of Einstein standing outdoors at a dock with the water and shoreline in the background, nicely signed in the lower border in fountain pen, “Albert Einstein.” In fine to very fine condition, with uniformly trimmed edges and a trivial mark to the top edge; overall it is a remarkable, clean example with an unusually bold signature. It is believed that this photo was taken circa 1950 while Einstein was on vacation in Connecticut, and that the gentleman with him lived in the neighborhood where he was staying. The physicist had fallen in love with sailing as a young man while studying at Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, and later in life often traveled the east coast in search of good sailing spots. This is a spectacular image of Einstein, shown in a great three-quarter-length pose, arms akimbo and unruly hair glistening in the sunlight. Uninscribed and enhanced by his uncommon full signature, it is a truly exceptional piece. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
