Beschreibung

Reprint 1906. A Beautiful full leather and gilt binding by Bumpus. Exquisite quality. Bookplate of Vera Salomons who belonged to the interconnected network of Anglo-Jewish families known as ?the Cousinhood.? An elusive figure, she is best remembered for founding and funding the L.A. Mayer Museum of Islamic Art in Jerusalem. This was the culmination of a longstanding philanthropic commitment to Jewish life in what would become the State of Israel. Wealthy enough to ignore the gendered norms that governed international Jewish activism, Vera Salomons chose through her philanthropy to remember those dear to her: L.A. Mayer, and her family, to whom she dedicated a small museum in their former home near Tunbridge Wells, in Kent, England. Book is near fine and very bright. Nice clean contents. A lovely example. More images can be taken upon request. Ref A1234. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 026198
