Original Einstein "Hair. It

Located in Spokane, WA
Original Einstein vintage poster. “Hair. It’s not the style that counts, it’s what’s under it.” A black and white image of Einstein with his hair messed me. Linen-backed in excellent condition, ready to frame.
From a series of portraits with inspirational quotes from The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. Photo from Bettmann Archive.
The poster is a variation of the original photo with the quote “It’s not the style that counts, it’s what’s under it”. This quote is a play on words emphasizing substance's importance over style. The poster reminds us that actual value lies in what is inside a person rather than their outward appearance.
About Equitable Life. After closing to new business in 2000, parts of the business were sold off, and the remainder of the company became a subsidiary of Utmost Life and Pensions in January 2020. The Equitable Life Assurance Society (Equitable Life), founded in 1762, is a life insurance...
