Vintage ink signature and inscription, “Herr R. L. Wiener, Albert Einstein 49,” on an off-white 3 x 1.25 clipped portion of a photographer’s mount. Signature is affixed to the reverse of an original 9.5 x 7.5 gelatin silver print of Einstein and Rabindranath Tagore. In very good condition, with two diagonal creases, one through first name of signature, and soiling along right edge and lower right corner. Einstein and Tagore met twice in the summer of 1930, to discuss the nature of truth. Richard Wiener, from whom this signature descends, acted as the translator of their conversation. Accompanied by a 1996 letter (in German) from Wiener's son explaining the provenance and a facsimile of Einstein's letter to Wiener presenting him with the original photograph.
