Commonly known as “Colonel” E.H.R. Green, the London-born millionaire was close friends with President William McKinley, ran the Texas-Midland Railroad, brought the first car to Texas and, among other things, owned a semi-pro baseball club out of East Texas.

Historical

Signed and dated by Albert Einstein in 1945, this Harris & Ewing gelatin silver portrait of the scientist was originally taken in 1921 during his first trip to the United States. That was also the year Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. Perhaps one of the most brilliant minds in modern history, Einstein made groundbreaking contributions to both theoretical physics and our understanding of the universe, and his work laid the foundation for much of modern physics.
