[Einstein, Albert. (1879 - 1955)]. Photograph of Einstein's Brain Waves!. Medical side view X-ray of Albert Einstein's skull, taken in 1945 by Dr. Gustav Bucky. In very fine condition. Printed on standard X-ray photograph stock, 10 x 12 inches (25.2 x 30.2 cm). We have been unable to positively identify when this print was made, but it almost certainly dates from well after the original imaging.
Gustav Bucky was a forerunner in radiograph technology and inventor of the Bucky Screen, which allowed for sharper radiograph images. Bucky and Einstein were co-inventors of the Automatic Electric Eye Camera. Another example of the present X-ray, together with a peripheral view, sold on December 2010 at auction for $38,750.00.
