Description
Princeton: np, 1950. Very Good. A beautiful photo of Einstein at work in his study, seemingly absorbed with his thoughts. The photographer, Hermann Landshoff, like Einstein, was a German-Jewish émigré who settled in the United States in the 1930s. His large body of work encompasses portraits of some of the most influential figures of the century. Landshoff was highly respected by his peers, with his work prompting the American photographer Richard Avedon to claim "I owe everything to Landshoff." Landshoff visited Einstein to photograph him several times in the 1940s and early 1950s, showing Einstein in quieter moments at his home or study in Princeton. With Landshoff's copyright stamp on verso marking this as a "Sample copy" and "Not for sale or reproduction." Also with Landshoff's signature on the original matte board. The original (non-archival) matte was removed during framing to better preserve the photo, but the signature was preserved and is now displayed on verso. Gelatin silver print with sepia tones. Taken c.1950, likely a contemporary or early printing. Approx. 9.25 x 10.5 in (235 x 263 mm). Archivally framed under museum glass to a size of 16 x 17.5 in. A few tiny spots to image, generally in fine condition, handsomely framed.

Description
07/10/1853. The Army Corps of Topographical Engineers was responsible for mapping and engineering, and for the design and construction of federal civil works such as lighthouses and other coastal fortifications and navigational routes. Members included such officers as George G. Meade and John C. Fremont. Col. John James Abert was a U.S. Army officer who headed the Corps for 32 years, during which time he supervised many early national engineering projects. He also organized the mapping of the American West. Working with him was Col. T.J. Lee, who in 1849 wrote “A Collection of Tables and Formulae Useful in Surveying, Geodesy, and Practical Astronomy: Including Elements for the Projection of Maps”. This was prepared for specifically for the use of the Corps of Topographical Engineers. Between 1849-1853, that Corps produced three charts of Lake Erie, which were among the first charts published by the Lake Survey. The charts were prepared under the direction of Lee, and finally became available in 1853.Millard Fillmore was president during the 1849-1853 period, and he was known to have an interest in the work of the Topographical Engineers. He was a collector of maps, and some of the maps from this era in the Library of Congress have his signature on the verso. He also delivered messages to Congress about the work of the Topographical Engineers.Autograph letter signed, Buffalo, October 7, 1853, just seven months after leaving the White House, to Abert in Washington. “Accept my thanks for the duplicate copies of the charts of Lake Erie, which you were so kind as to send me, and which arrived in good order last evening, and also for a copy of Capt. Lee’s Tables and Formulae.”It is interesting to know that Fillmore was a collector, and that friends in government were sending him things for his collection even after he left office.
