New research into the Israel Solomons collection at Klau Library, Cincinnati

Earlier this month, Jewish Country Houses Co-Investigator Dr Tom Stammers visited the Klau Library to delve into its Israel Solomons collection. The collection features Solomon's autographs and manuscripts as well as some rare books and beloved bookplates. Tom hopes to glean from these papers a fuller sense of how Solomons engaged with other Jewish collectors and bookdealers throughout Europe, showing that his research into Anglo-Jewish history was profoundly shaped by materials sourced from the continent.
