Title: Albert Einstein Beautiful Signed Photograph at the Metropolitan Opera, on His Visit to the U.S. in 1930
Author: Albert Einstein
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 12/12/30. We obtained this photograph directly from the Guard heirs, and it has never before been offered for saleIn December 1930, Albert Einstein visited America for the second time. It was originally intended as merely a two-month working visit as a research fellow at the California Institute of Technology, but Einstein’s popularity made the trip headline news. After arriving in New York City, Einstein was taken to various places and events, including Chinatown, a lunch with the editors of The New York Times, and a performance of Carmen at the Metropolitan Opera on December 12, where Einstein, an opera buff who revered Mozart, Bach, and other great composers, was cheered by the audience on his arrival.William Guard was engaged by the Manhattan Opera Company as a press representative upon its organization in 1906. Upon the company's dissolution, he took a similar position with the Metropolitan Opera, remaining with the company until his death in 1932. Einstein met Guard at his office on his visit to the Met.Newspapers reported on December 14, 1930: “Einstein Theory Defined in Sentence”. “At last Prof. Einstein has hit upon a one sentence definition of relativity which anyone can understand. He was chatting recently in the office of William Guard, factotum of the Metropolitan Opera. ‘Professor,’ said Guard, ‘I have a definition of your relativity theory, and I would like to know if it is correct.’ The Professor smiled. There are presumed to be only a handful of wise men in the entire world who are able to understand it. ‘My definition is this,’ said Guard. ‘There is no hitching post in the universe—so far as we know.’ Einstein laughed and nodded assent vigorously.”A spectacular 8 by 10 inch photograph of Einstein, inscribed and presented by the great scientist to Guard on his visit to the Met: ""Mr. William J. Guard / A. Einstein / 12. XII.30.” We obtained this photograph directly from the Guard heirs, and it has never before been offered for sale.

Title: President Benjamin Harrison Writes Railroad Magnate Chauncey DePew Requesting a Private Car for His Sick Sister-in-law
Author: Benjamin Harrison
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 01/01/1891. Though there is a date of 1891 marked in an unknown hand at the top, it would seem likely that the sick woman is the sister of Harrison’s second wife, Mary Scott Lord who was the widow of Walter E. Dimmick, especially since a name is crossed out by Harrison which looks like it was “Mrs. Lord.” Mary Lord married Benjamin in 1896 after his presidency, thus the date is uncertain. DePew was President of the New York Central from 1885 to 1898 after which he became a U.S. Senator.Autograph Telegram Signed, no date, to Chauncey DePew at the New York Central Railroad Office in New York. “My wife’s sister is ill at Stamford, Conn. and I would like to have a special car with a bed to bring her to New York tomorrow or Friday. If you can arrange for it advise Mrs. Mary Dimmick care of Mr. Leeds, Stamford and they will name the time. Please have the R.R. send bill of expenses to me and greatly oblige me. Benj. Harrison. Charge my account.”
