Educated in Ashmyany Zhitomir and Kremenchug and arrested as a youth for revolutionary activities he went on to study at the St. Petersburg Technological Institute and later at the Sorbonne.<br> Fleeing Russia after the assassination of Tsar Alexander II Krantz settled in Paris and then London becoming a key figure in early Jewish socialist circles. He was a founder of the Jewish Arbeiter Verein and an early contributor to Yiddish socialist journalism despite initial resistance to writing in what he called the "Jewish Jargon." Krantz would go on to devote his life to it becoming editor of Arbeter Fraynd and a delegate to the 1889 International Workers Congress in Paris.<br> In 1890 Krantz immigrated to New York where he edited Arbeter Tsaytung and later Dos Abend Blatt becoming a prominent voice in the American Jewish labor press. He contributed prolifically to nearly every significant Yiddish publication of the era including Zukunft Der Sotsyal-Demokrat The Forward andDi Idishe Velt and served as editor at the International Library Publishing Co. which helped disseminate secular socialist and scientific knowledge to Yiddish readers.<br> Krantz's literary output was immense and educational in intent—writing on science history and philosophy for Jewish immigrants still navigating a new world in an old tongue. His works include popular surveys of astronomy and ancient history as well as biographies of Spinoza Muhammad Bar Kokhba Sabbatai Zevi and the Rothschilds among many others. A tireless educator and propagator of knowledge Krantz was committed to enlightening his readership helping to build a secular Jewish culture in Yiddish for the modern age.

189053980Pittsburgh: Department 0f Public Safety Bureau of Police 1890. 1890. PENNSYLVANIA. This is a 10" x 7 1/4" reward posted that is pasted onto a piece of cardboard with the message: $200 REWARD! ESCAPE FROM WESTERN PENITENTIARY ALLEGHENY PA. "A $100 REWARD each will be paid for the arrest and detention of PADDY McGRAW and JAMES DOBSON who broke away from the Western Penitentiary in Allegheny City on the evening of November 28th 1890." A complete description of Paddy McGraw and James Dobson are provided with a picture of Paddy McGraw provided. This appears to be a "mock-up" with all pertinent information typed and pasted on a stiff paper board and then used as a template for producing the needed wanted posters. On the verso is a similar "mock-up" by Porter's National Detective Agency of Nashville Tennessee offering a reward leading to the arrest of John W. Cullen. Roger O'Mara was Pittsburgh's top cop at the turn of the twentieth century. His long career as a policeman and private detective coupled with his flair for publicity made him one of the most well-known law enforcement figures in the United States during his lifetime. He recounted his cases in newspaper features and his exploits inspired many a detective story in dime-novel crime fiction. The presentation of the poster is a bit shabby but overall a good and serviceable copy of an interesting reward poster. Department 0f Public Safety, Bureau of Police, 1890. unknown
