EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history as Her Majesty knights Sir Moses Montefiore on November 9th, 1837. Sir Moses Montefiore was an extraordinary English financier, banker, and philanthropist who dedicated his life to promoting industry, education, and health within the Jewish community. His immense contributions included donating large sums of money towards these causes. The image showcases the grandeur of this historical event with its intricate details and illustrative technique. The engraving beautifully depicts the Victorian era's style and culture through its retro-styled composition. Sir Moses Montefiore played a pivotal role in various aspects of Jewish society during his lifetime. He was instrumental in founding Mishkenot Sha'ananim in 1860—a settlement that became part of the new Yishuv—and served as President of the Board of Deputies for British Jews. Additionally, this engraving highlights another crucial chapter in Sir Moses' life—the correspondence between him and Consul Charles Henry Churchill from Damascus between 1841-1842. This exchange marked a pivotal development in proto-Zionism within the United Kingdom. As we admire this vintage piece from the Liszt Collection—an esteemed collection known for preserving historical engravings—we are transported back to nineteenth-century England where artistry thrived alongside societal progress.
