Images With Worth! Photo of Einstein Sticking His Tongue Sells For $125,000 USD

History is important, and any piece of iconic history calls for big money. Such was the case recently as a Photo of Einstein Sticking His Tongue Sells For $125,000 USD. This iconic and rather legendary photo was taken on March 14, 1951, by photographer Arthur Sasse after Einstein’s 72nd birthday at The Princeton Club. The image was signed by Einstein himself and was so favored by the scientist that he ordered nine copies to share with friends. The auction description for the picture stated: “Photo was snapped on 14 March 1951 by Arthur Sasse, a UPI photographer whose employers were at first hesitant about publishing the iconoclastic image of Einstein; when they did, Einstein was so amused by it that he ordered several prints to give out to close friends.

This image is unlike most which crop the photo to show only Einstein. Here, the photo is shown in its full context with Einstein seated between Dr. Frank Aydelotte, head of the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, and Aydelotte’s wife, after celebrating his birthday at the Princeton Club. The photo is signed along the left margin ”A. Einstein .51”, indicating he signed the image shortly after it was taken. Photo measures 7” x 10”. Very good to near fine condition. Extraordinarily rare photo signed by Einstein, the most famous and beloved image of him.” Have a look at the image up top and let us know how far you would go in the comments. Stay tuned for much more from the world of art and history coming soon.

I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'"  Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .
