EINSTEIN, Albert. Collection of 114 offprints, from various journals, including Annalen der Physik , various sizes (mostly 8 o), mostly original printed wrappers or self-wrappers, condition varies (generally very good to fine, some wrappers reinforced along spine fold, some tissue-lined on verso). Vp, vd (1902-1950s). This is one of the largest collection of Einstein offprints offered for sale, and it would be extremely difficult to replace. Offprints by Einstein published before the general theory of relativity in 1916 tended to be issued in small quantities such as 25-50 copies, and most are extremely rare on the market. After the worldwide publicity surrounding the confirmation of the general theory of relativity with the eclipse expedition of 1919, Einstein became the most famous scientist in the world, and he had a huge number of requests for offprints from a wide variety of people. As a result he may have ordered larger numbers of offprints of some papers than were customary. Furthermore publishers of the journals in which his articles appeared realized that they could offer some of these papers for sale separately. Thus some of the later offprints by Einstein that were published in larger printings may be less scarce than the ones published before 1916, though many of them are extremely difficult to find.
