 Here is an old collage of pictures including one of the astronometer and physicist entitled " Dr. Einstein, Proponet of New Theory of Relativity" as shown in a great big 11 by 16 inch page as saved from this old American Pictorial Magazine. Text reads "In the circle at left is show Dr. Albert Einstein, the distinguished astronomer and physicist, whose theory of relativity has taken the scientific world by story and has caused a radical revision of views that have been held on the theories of light and gravitation since the time of Sir Isaac Newton. Einstein's theory involves a very fundamental alteration both of our theories of gravitation and ether and of our whole conception of time, space, mass and motion. Of special interest in connection with the theory is this tower erected on the Telegraphenberg at Potsdam, Germany, to test the doctrine of relativity. The coelostat rests on a wooded tower forty-six feet high, encase in a stone tower, at the base of which is a fully equipped modern physical laboratory.".
