This rare Albert Einstein signed portrait is one of my favourite stock items of 2022.
Portrait of a genius
This original ink portrait was the work of artist Clement E. Campbell in 1949.
It perfectly captures Einstein as we know him today.
The wild tangle of white hair. The bushy moustache. The smile of a man who finds the whole universe fascinating.
Campbell's skilful use of pen and ink brings this portrait to life.
It's a delightful piece of vintage artwork.
Drawn on an off-white sheet measuring 6” x 8” and presented in fine condition.
And the signature beneath transforms it into something remarkable.
Albert Einstein's name - and his iconic appearance - have come to define the term "genius".
By the same hand that wrote "E=MC2"
This is a classic example of Albert Einstein's signature.
Clearly signed "A. Einstein" in fountain pen ink, and dated "49".
It's one of the most sought-after autographs in the entire hobby.
Signed by the same hand that wrote "E=MC2", history's most famous equation that changed physics forever.
If you're a serious collector, it doesn't get much better than that.
When Einstein signed this portrait, six years before his death, he was consumed by his ideas of a Unified Field Theory.
But in the midst of such important work, he found time to reply to a humble request from a proud family man.
Signed by the same hand that first wrote "E=MC2" - and changed scientific history forever.
From father to son
Clement E. Campbell was a collector and a talented amateur artist.
In 1949 he sent this portrait to Einstein at Princeton University, with a charming covering letter.
(Campbell's own copy of the typed letter is included with his drawing.)
He politely asked Einstein for his autograph on the artwork, and explained:
“I'm following up my pastime as a hobby to provide something of a treasure for my three sons as they travel through their school years.”
That's an honourable goal many collectors will recognise.
Einstein knew it would be passed down proudly by a father to his children.
It was a piece to inspire them. That's surely why he signed it.
But he could never have imagined how valuable it would become.
Einstein signed the portrait and kindly returned it after receiving this charming letter from the artist.
A prize for the future
As we've proved, Einstein's signature is a prize every collector wants to own.
And the market clearly backs that up.
These auction prices were achieved in the last 18 months alone:
- A signed copy of his famous 'tongue' photograph sold for $76,600
- A letter featuring his famous equation “E=MC2” sold for $1.2 million
- A 56-page manuscript on his Theory of Relativity sold for $13 million
It's hard to think of another historic figure that achieves stronger results. But it doesn't take a genius to understand why.
Because Einstein changed the way we understand the universe. His brilliance will be celebrated for centuries.
And anything he wrote or signed is a major piece of history.
So if you're building your collection for the future, you can rest assured;
Just like his theories, Einstein's memorabilia will stand the test of time.When you have the rare opportunity to own an Einstein piece of this quality, you should take it.
A rare opportunity
This portrait is a magnificent piece for your collection.
A rare Albert Einstein autograph with a wonderful backstory.

Those prices are only going up.
And every year that goes by, his signature becomes even rarer.
But the demand just gets stronger. The results our our vote show that.
