Here it is, the MOST ICONIC image ever captured of Albert Einstein as captured originally by International news Photographer Arthur Sasse on his 72nd birthday, the night of March 14 1951 at the Princeton Club. 
The story behind this one is a fascinating one. 
After a very long night, Einstein entered a car to take him home. 
A cameramen rushed to make ‘just one more’ picture. It was Sasse, trying to persuade Einstein to smile for the camera, but having smiled for photographers many times that day, visibly tired Einstein stuck out his tongue instead. Sasse scored the iconic shot, but the other photographers surrounding the car missed it. The appropriateness of the photo was heavily debated by Sasse’s editors before being published on International News Photos Network. It became one of the most popular photos ever taken of Einstein, who himself requested nine prints for his personal use
The photo is in very good condition.
We send by the post , very well protected  , insured and certified.
