Some great sleuthing by S. turned up a d'ore tintype in Berlin apparently left by Eisenstein on his way back to Moscow after his 1930's whirlwind tour of progressive literary America, pre Macarthy Hollywood and Diego Rivera's Mexico. The woman who donated it to the museum said Eisenstein had visited a later incarnation of the 19th century Jackson Street salon and taken the tin type to Guanajuato in an attempt to tempt Freida and Diego to visit San Francisco.
