EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vintage engraving captures a pivotal moment in British history on November 9th, 1837. The image depicts Queen Victoria bestowing the honor of knighthood upon Sir Moses Montefiore in recognition of his remarkable contributions to society. Sir Moses Montefiore was an influential Jewish philanthropist and financier who dedicated his life to improving the lives of others. Born in London in 1784, he rose to prominence as a successful banker and consul before becoming Sheriff of London in 1837. His tireless efforts extended far beyond financial success; he used his wealth and influence for the betterment of education, health, industry, and culture within both the Jewish community and wider society. His generous donations funded numerous projects that promoted social welfare across England. Notably, Sir Moses played a significant role in founding settlements for Jews fleeing persecution abroad. In particular, he established Mishkenot Sha'ananim in Jerusalem's Yishuv neighborhood—the first modern neighborhood built outside the walls of the Old City—a testament to his commitment to supporting Jewish communities worldwide. This beautifully engraved image showcases not only Sir Moses' achievements but also exemplifies the illustrative techniques popular during the nineteenth century. It provides us with a glimpse into a bygone era when individuals like Sir Moses Montefiore were instrumental figures shaping British history through their dedication
