An interesting catalogue of “Anglo-Jewish Portraits” is now being compiled by the Jewish Museum here. It will include more than 500 portraits of Anglo-Jewish interest, all of which were engraved prior to 1837.

The catalogue will stress not only the influence which Jews have had on the life of England, but also that exerted by Englishmen upon the Jews. Students of racial types are expected to find much material that will interest them in the new catalogue.

Among the non-Jews of whom there will be many different portraits are Lord George Gordon, who ended a tumultous, hectic life as a convert to Judaism, and Richard Brothers, self-styled “Prince of the Hebrews and Nephew of the Almighty,” who died in a lunatic asylum before being revealed as new ruler of the world. Brothers was the first to proclaim the theory that the English are the descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes—a theory greatly subscribed to today in many classes of British society.
