LOT #85

Albert Einstein

ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879-1955). German-born American physicist;author of the special and general theories of relativity; awarded 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics.

THOMAS MANN(1875-1955). German novelist and essayist.

Rare book auction catalogue signed by both under their respective contributions of the foreword and preface to the catalogue. This catalogue was issued in December of 1938, by the “Joint Distribution Committee and Committee for Christian German Refugees” under the auspices of Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach, the noted book dealer.

The catalogue contains nearly 200 items of a literary nature that were to be sold on behalf of refugees from Germany prior to the outbreak of WWII. This is quite a rare item; we can recall having only one other, some 10 years ago.

To the best of our knowledge, very few catalogues were signed by Einstein and Mann, and those that were, were especially housed in red morocco cases, as this one is. Both Einstein’s and Mann’s contributions are quite moving. An interesting and not often encountered piece signed by two of Germany’s greatest political refugees! 5,000. - up
