Auction History Result 6t318 ALBERT EINSTEIN/CARL LAEMMLE SR 7.75x10 still '31 they spent many hours inspecting Universal Date Sold 3/23/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Albert Einstein was a German theoretical physicist who developed the general theory of relativity. He may be best known for his mass-energy equivalence formula "E = mc2" and he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics. He was visiting the United States when Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 and choose not to go back to Germany. Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers and his great intellectual achievements and originality have made the word "Einstein" synonymous with genius AND Carl Laemmle Sr. was a legendary German-born entrepreneur who founded Universal Pictures in 1915, and was responsible for the many of the great successes that studio had in the 1920s. He brought his son, Carl Laemmle, Jr., into the business, and by the 1930s, his son gained control of the studio. Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful still shows Albert Einstein on his 1931 visit to Los Angeles. It says that the only interest he displayed in movies was when he met with Carl Laemmle at Universal. Perhaps they visited the set of either "Frankenstein" or "Dracula"! Also note that this still measures 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
