Albert Einstein listening, Princeton 1946

Albert Einstein sits in a striped armchair before a densely packed bookshelf in his home at 112 Mercer Street in Princeton, listening intently. The close-up was filmed during a meeting with chemist Harold C. Urey, at which Einstein agreed to a statement signed by fellow scientists on responsibility in handling atomic energy. The 1946 meeting took place in connection with the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists chaired by Einstein, which warned against a nuclear arms race.
