1923rif. 1413011923. Extremely rare original photograph boldly signed "Albert Einstein Jerusalem 1923" during his only trip to Palestine in 1923. Einstein's return voyage from his tour of Japan and China took him via the Red Sea and Suez Canal which allowed him to accept the invitation of Arthur Ruppin the director of the Palestine office of the Zionist Organization in Jaffa to visit the region for twelve days. Einstein arrived in Port Said on February 1 1923 and from there he traveled to Jerusalem Tel Aviv Jaffa and Haifa. The photographer Zvi Oron began his career in Warsaw and the United States before opening a studio in Tel Aviv in 1919. In 1930 he moved to Jerusalem and opened a studio of Jaffa Street working in the service of press clients and the British Government.

Contributors of essays include Niels Bohr Max Born Wolfgang Pauli and Kurt Godel. I. I. Rabi's review in Science hailed this as a "most important and significant volume. It is most difficult to get scientists to write simply and clearly about the fundamentals of their science and the leading philosophical ideas that guide them. … In this book there is played out a great scientific drama of the last two decades. … The book starts with an intellectual autobiography by Einstein himself. He satirically calls it his obituary. I know of no other to compare with it. Neither Newton nor Maxwell nor any of the other great giants of physics had his Schilpp the editor to catalyze such an effort. After reading Einstein's article one realizes the great loss this is to scientific culture" Science 21 April 1950.
