A photograph of Albert Einstein deep in thought on the beach in Santa Barbara, California. November 2, 1931.

Taken during Einstein’s weekend visit to his host Dr. Ludwig Kast.

The title of the photograph on the back on the piece of paper glued “ALON AT LAST”. Ink stamp of the photo agency WIDE WORLD PHOTOS. We found negatives of this photograph in several archives, as well as a negative of another photograph of Einstein together with his wife on the same beach that day. Before us is apparently the only original photograph in the world.

26×21 cm. Slight tear in the white margins in the upper part of the photograph. Good – very good condition.
