Enrico Fermi Autograph Sold

The brilliant Italian-born physicist Enrico Fermi was one of the minds involved in WWII’s Manhattan Project and produced the earliest nuclear weapons. He became interested in physics during his youth and ran experiments with friends, including testing the density of Rome’s water supply. In 1934 Fermi began discovering new things about nuclear fission and the amounts of energy that were released by converting mass into energy. The 1938 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Fermi for his work in discovering the transuranium elements.

Here are some Enrico Fermi items we have sold in the past:

Enrico Fermi & Robert Oppenheimer Signed Book, ”Atomic Energy for Military Purposes” — Also Signed by Four Other Manhattan Project Scientists Who Developed the First Atomic Bomb

Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1945. Book is the official report of the Manhattan Project, signed on the half-title page by Enrico Fermi, Samuel K. Allison, George B. Kistiakowsky, Kenneth T. Bainbridge, and Robert Oppenheimer. Signatures were acquired by another Manhattan Project scientist, Laurence Cherry, who designed the detonation system for the Fat Man bomb. Hardbound book measures 5.75” x 8”. Some light wear and spotting to boards. Mr. Cherry’s stamp appears on page edges and also on front free endpaper, along with his address and notation that the book was purchased in 1946 at Los Alamos. Very good condition.
