EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). His signature (“A. Einstein 50”) in an autograph album containing numerous other signatures gathered at the Institute for Advanced Study, including Robert J. OPPENHEIMIER (1904-1967) and Niels BOHR (1885-1962).
Approximately 32 leaves filled in, octavo album bound in green boards (rubbing to boards and spine, pages lightly toned at extreme margins).
A 1950 autograph album featuring some of the leading intellectual lights at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton including Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, and Niels Bohr–some of the most important figures in the development of nuclear weapons. Other signatories include Wolfgang PAULI (1900-1958), Abrahram PAIS (1918-2000), George KENNAN (1901-2005), Oswald VEBLEN (1880-1960), Deane MONTGOMERY (1909-1992), John von NEUMANN (1903-1957), and many others. Although Einstein himself was not directly involved in research into nuclear fission, it was his famous 1939 letter to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, warning the President of German intentions to do the same which helped ignite intensive research into developing a working nuclear weapon. [With:] Photograph, 115 x 165mm. A candid portrait of Einstein, c.1950 (vertical crease).
