A sinking fund is a special reserve account into which the issuer promises to deposit funds at regular intervals and use the cash that accumulates to redeem the bonds giving bondholders extra protection against default. Also signed by the Director of the Commission on verso. At the time this bond was signed ALEXANDER I 1777-1825 was Czar of Russia 1801-1825. During the reign of Alexander who was known for alternately befriending and then fighting with Napoléon I St. Petersburg became the social and artistic center of Europe. NATHAN M. ROTHSCHILD 1777-1836 who created the bulk of his family's wealth with his bank N.M. Rothschild and his investments was the third son of Mayer Rothschild who had founded a money-lending business in Frankfurt and was the agent of the British government in subsidizing European sovereigns during the Napoléonic Wars. Nathan who left for England in 1799 where he was a textile and general merchant before moving into finance was one of the world's richest men when he died in 1836. Nathan's son Lionel was elected to Parliament but was not allowed to take his seat because he was Jewish. Lionel's son Sir Nathan Mayer Rothschild 1st Baron Rothschild was the first Jew admitted to the House of Lords. His son 2nd Baron Rothschild received the Balfour Declaration in 1917.NB. A Special Fund of ONE per Cent on the Amount of this Loan is appropriated for its redemption. Extract from the Regulations of the Commission. Chap. 2:. 22. The payment of the perpetual Annuity as well as the payment of the outstanding Debts will be effected in time of Peace as well as in time of War without distinction whether the creditor belongs to a friendly or a hostile nation. 23. If a Foreigner proprietor of Inscriptions dies intestate the inscriptions shall pass to his heirs in the order of succession established by the Laws of the Country of which he was a subject. 24. The Capital placed in the Perpetual Debt being considered as an inviolable Property sliall be exempt from sequestration both for claims of the Crown and those of individuals unless these Capitals in whole or in part have been given in security for Contracts of provisions or by any other Articles of Agreement whether with the Crown or with private individuals or for the purpose of bailing any claim; in which case they are subject to the general Laws concerning mortgages and bails. These Capitals are likewise exempted in all cases from every Tax. 25- No Person can be constrained to take back the whole or a part of the Capital placed in tlie Perpetual Debt. But to facilitate to the Proprietors of Inscriptions the means of converting them when they desire it into ready money the Commission will employ annually for the purpose of repurchasing them at the current price a Capital of the Sinking Fund which shall be assigned beyond the Fund necessary for the Payment of the perpetual Interest.This Russian bond from 1822 is widely recognized as the first Eurobond. Issued by the House of Rothschild in London Frankfurt Paris and Vienna the bond promised payment in European currencies as well as in Russian rubles. Perhaps more importantly dividends could be claimed in any of the above cities -- effectively protecting the bondholder from the effects of a continental war -- if you are forced to flee the country you can take your bonds with you to any one of four safe havens and expect payment! This is certified by none other than Nathan Rothschild -- one of the most famous investment bankers of all time. His signature appears on the upper right hand side of the bond. Missing from the bond are the original coupons -- they were all clipped and exchanged for payment. Although titled an annuity the 1822 issue was a perpetuity -- a promise by Russia to pay a dividend to the bondholder forever -- or at least until the Revolution of 1917.Nathan Mayer Rothschild 1777-1836 founded the British branch of the Rothschild banking house in London in 1805 and became the first Jew admitted to the House of Lords. He took a leading part in managing and financing the subsidies that the British government transferred to its allies during the Napoleonic Wars. Nathan Mayer's eldest son Lionel Nathan Rothschild 1808-79 who succeeded him as manager of the London branch financed the British government's purchase of a controlling interest in the Suez Canal in 1875. Lionel Nathan also became the first Jewish member of the British Parliament. Lionel's son Sir Nathan Mayer 1st Baron Rothschild 1840-1915 was a member of Parliament and in 1855 was created the first Jewish peer in Great Britain. The Rothschild banking house in London continued under the management of Lionel de Rothschild 1882-1942 and Anthony Gustav de Rothschild 1887-1961 both great-great-grandsons of Mayer Amschel. The London branch remains today an important banking establishment among Western nations." St. Petersburg: Imperial Russian Government, 1822 unknown

One of 175 numbered copies; Engraved bookplate of Guy de Rothschild.OCLC Number / Unique Identifier:173028078.Ben Uri Collection text: The painter-engraver Paul Jeffay ne Saul Yaffie was born in Glasgow Scotland on 29 April 1898 to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents fleeing pogroms who had been among the first generation of 20th century Jews to settle in the Gorbals which became the heart of the Glasgow Jewish community. He studied at The Glasgow School of Art between 1912 and 1919 one of only three other Jewish students at that time winning numerous prizes. His tutors included the Estonian-born sculptor Benno Schotz who recalled that upon the outbreak of the First World War Yaffie won a poster competition for display in Glasgow tramcars depicting a woman and child fleeing from a fire. Jeffay’s studies were interrupted by his voluntary war service 1916-17 and after briefly being stationed in the same Jewish battalion as sculptor Jacob Epstein he served in the King’s Own Scottish Borderers.Following the Armistice Saul returned briefly to Glasgow before moving to Paris and settling in Montmartre around 1919. He participated in various ‘Salon des Independants’ exhibitions in the 1920s and 1930s adopting the pseudonym ‘Paul Jeffay’ and also working under the names Paul Lebeau and Solomon/Saül Yaffie/Yafie. In 1930 he founded his own studio in ‘Fontenay-aux-Roses’ where he remained with the exception of the Second World War years until his death in 1957. Between 1933 and 1939 Jeffay made three prolonged visits to Poland studying and sketching the Jewish community in the Warsaw Ghetto; the resulting album ‘Visages du Ghetto’ comprises a series of fourteen etchings. Jeffay’s studio was looted by the German Army during the Second World War and only a small portion of his work has survived.Paul Jeffay died in Paris France in 1957. A set of the engravings from the 'Visages du Ghetto' series was shown along with the original drawings at an exhibition organised by Ben Uri at at the Western Marble Arch Synagogue in 1994 entitled 'Visages du Ghetto: Paintings Drawings and Etchings of Pre-War Jewish Europe by Paul Jeffay 1898-1957' and a set of prints was afterwards gifted to the Ben Uri Collection by the artist's grandson.
