An experiment in cooking education by example The New England Kitchen was aimed at weaning immigrants off of their food traditions and toward a "New England diet" see Laura Shapiro's excellent Perfection Salad pages 147 ff.

189243449Chicago: Bloch 1892. paperback. 1st edition original printed green paper wrappers 8vo. 49 pages. Singerman 4345. <br> <br> Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch 1851-1923 "who headed Chicago's Sinai Congregation for forty-two years and led Reform Judaism into the Progressive movement and down social justice pathways was born in Luxemburg.<br> One of several Jews involved in founding the NAACP Hirsch was married to the daughter of abolitionist rabbi David Einhorn and served in his father-in-law's former pulpit in Baltimore before moving to Louisville Kentucky and then Chicago. He was professor of rabbinical literature and philosophy at the University of Chicago in 1892 active in the Republican Party and editor of several influential Jewish publications" Lawrence Bush in Jewish Currents<br> "Hirsch and his congregants struggled to come to terms with the large number of Jewish immigrants who moved to Chicago after 1880 boosting the Jewish community from about 10000 in 1880 to over 300000 in 1920.For the established Jews represented by Sinai the Jewish 'Ghetto' - the immigrant neighborhood on the city's West Side - appeared to represent a world apart and a sharp contrast to Sinai's radical and inclusive reform agenda: a highly visible expression of Jewish ethnicity and traditional Judaism which Reform Jews associated with isolation discrimination and exclusion." <br> Nevertheless during the 1890s "Hirsch spoke up against the deplorable condition of Jews in the Russian Empire and reached out to West Side residents. His support for workers' rights also won him much support among Jewish immigrants who overwhelmingly belonged to the working class.<br> "Hirsch worked closely with Jane Addams and other members of the Hull House circle. In 1908 Hirsch and Addams were among the co-founders of the NAACP. Hirsch inspired several members of Sinai congregation: Sears and Roebuck president and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald was one of Hirsch's closest associates so was legal scholar Julian Mack who presided over a widely noted juvenile court in Chicago in the first decade of the 20th century. <br> Hannah Solomon was one of the founders of the organized Jewish women's movement in the United States. Joseph Schaffner and Harry Hart were the leading partner of the clothing manufacturer Hart Schaffner & Marx one of Chicago's largest employers. Influenced by Hirsch's social theology Schaffner and Hart settled with their workers during the 1910-1911 clothing strike recognizing their right to form a union" Tobias Brinkmann.<br> <br> SUBJECT S : Jesus Christ -- Jewish interpretation.

1894519140B.T. Batsford London 1894. 1st Edition. Unframed Photograph Print. Very Good Condition. Lilford Hall begun 1495 and enlarged in 1635; Jacobean exterior with Georgian interiors by Henry Flitcroft; now privately owned. Charles Latham was one of the most influential architectural photographers of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods renowned for his evocative images of country houses and formal gardens across Britain and Italy. His work helped define the visual language of architectural publishing and preservation. His first major commission was for J. Alfred Gotch's Architecture of the Renaissance in England 1894 from which this photograph is taken where his collotype plates captured the texture and grandeur of Elizabethan and Jacobean houses with remarkable clarity. Latham later helped shape the visual identity of Country Life magazine which we always have in stock photographing both historic estates and newly built homes. His images became central to the magazine's appeal combining editorial elegance with technical innovation in print reproduction. Each of Charles Latham's architectural photographs captures a singular moment of craftsmanship patronage or domestic ambition from heraldic chimney-pieces to formal garden fronts. Whether collegiate civic or aristocratic these buildings speak to the stylistic confidence of their age. Many remain inhabited studied or preserved today making each image not just a historical record but a quietly resonant portrait of continuity. Published in 1894 this fine Victorian-period image has been carefully removed from Gotch's monumental work. Printed in Leipzig Germany by Sinsel & Co. on thick cream-coloured paper this image reflects the firm's hallmark clarity and tonal depth featuring the building's name in sepia ink below a ruled border with Latham's beautifully composed black-and-white photograph taking centre place.
