  • The Rothschild Bibliography Caroline Shaw of the Rothschild Archive Describes Her Attempts to Chart the Family’S Countless Ventures Into Print
    The Rothschild Bibliography Caroline Shaw of The Rothschild Archive describes her attempts to chart the family’s countless ventures into print The ‘Dunottar Castle’ from the cover of Three weeks in South Africa by Ferdinand de Rothschild Has there ever been such a family as the Rothschilds for getting into print? For me, after working on this project for two years, the question is coloured by a mixture of wonder and exasperation. Will they never stop publishing? Of course, one hopes not; but is there to be no rest for the bibliographer? It has been a long-standing goal of The Rothschild Archive to compile a bibliography of publications by members of the Rothschild family and now, 1,840 entries by fifty-one individuals further on, we are perhaps ready to acknowledge that critical mass has been reached whilst accepting that completion may never be achieved. The initial motivation for producing The Rothschild bibliography was a desire to bring some kind of intellectual order to this not insignificant aspect of the activities of the Rothschild family. It has been a mapping of a wide and diverse terrain and revealed some previously uncharted areas. Beyond this, and the greater insight allowed into the lives and interests of many members of the family, the bibliography has brought some other benefits to the Archive. New acquisitions have followed from our greater knowledge and awareness of the publications; and the ever-expanding database of references has also built up into a guide for locating material, whether held at the Archive or at another institution.

  • Waddesdon Unveils 2021 Programme
    Life-sized elephants, painterly images of beautiful roses, the kitchen where Queen Victoria sent her own chef to learn and unseen paintings by Gustave Moreau – Waddesdon announces its 2021 programme Emerging from the gloom of 2020, next year looks rosier. Not least because Waddesdon’s 2021 season includes the second instalment of Nick Knight’s Roses from my Garden, a series of superb large-scale still life images with echoes of artists like Brueghel and van Huysum, yet wholly contemporary, extended from 2020. Also, from February, the history and secrets of the Manor’s kitchen and the people who worked in it will be revealed in a fascinating new display, while an exhibition of Gustave Moreau’s watercolours that have not been seen in public for 115 years is sure to be a highlight of summer. History of the Manor Kitchen 3 February – 7 March Manor Restaurant As a summer retreat from London and a magnificent setting for weekend house parties, Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild’s Waddesdon was the last word in luxury and refinement, not least through what was served from its cellars and large kitchen. Guests included Queen Victoria and her son, the Prince of Wales (and future King Edward VII). In 1891, just 24 staff ran the house, but this number would double when the Baron was entertaining and his French chef and Italian pastry-chef came down from London. Such was their artistry in the kitchen, that Queen Victoria sent her own chef to learn from Ferdinand’s after her visit in 1890. Waddesdon – A Rothschild House & Gardens, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP18 0JH England www.waddesdon.org.uk When the house was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1957, the Manor Kitchen was converted to a tearoom.

  • Travels in Europe: 'Stray Leaves from My Journey, 1867'
    Travels in Europe: ‘Stray Leaves From My Journey, 1867’ Melanie Aspey explains how one of the highlights among new accessions provided the excuse to revisit some of the earliest material deposited in the Archive. The abiding interest in photography of generations of the Rothschild family – as commissioners, collectors and practitioners – will be well known to readers of previous issues of this Review.¹ Baron Lionel de Rothschild (1808‒1879) appreciated the potential of photographs as evidence in litigation, as he tried to prevent the planting of unsightly telegraph poles by the United Kingdom Electric Telegram Company. His wife Charlotte (1819‒1884) was most probably res- ponsible for assembling an album of works by photographic pioneers such as Oscar Reijlander, Roger Fenton and Julia Margaret Cameron. She was certainly the recipient of a print of Cameron’s The Kiss of Peace, which the photographer inscribed to her and which is one of several examples of her work in the album.² The couple’s grandson, Lionel (1882‒1942), left proof of his talents as a photographer in his collection of autochromes taken in the years before World War I. Did this fascination with photography skip a generation? We now know for certain that it Lithograph of Moscow: did not, with the arrival in the Archive of a back-breakingly impressive volume with the rather Couvent de St Simeon nonchalant title, ‘Stray Leaves From My Journey, 1867’.³ The volume was compiled by Leopold from ‘Stray Leaves From de Rothschild (1845‒1917) – son and father of the Lionels above – and contains photographs My Journey’, compiled by Leopold de Rothschild, and prints of European cities, often captioned in Leopold’s own hand.

  • Books As Art Objects: Baron Ferdinand De Rothschild's Library At
    Books as art objects: Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild’s library at Waddesdon Manor Figure 1 : The south facade of Waddesdon Manor, overlooking the garden Waddesdon Manor, a fantasy 19th-century château embedded in a county once nicknamed “Rothschildshire” because of the number of properties owned by the family in such a limited geographical area, is an excellent representation of what may be known as the goût Rothschild. The manor, whose architectural style is an association of decorative elements taken from various French Renaissance Loire Valley castles, was designed to host Ferdinand de Rothschild’s art collection and accommodate it for week-end enjoyment and guests’ entertainment. The visual identity of the site, common to many Rothschild’s possessions, originates from the juxtaposition of French 18th=century decorative art and English 18th-century portraits. Figure 2 : The grey drawing room, on the ground floor is representative of the Rothschild taste. It allies 18th century British portraits and 18th century French decorative arts. The fortune of the Rothschild family can be traced back to the career of Ferdinand’s great- grandfather Mayer Amschel Rothschild, born in 1743 or 1744 in the Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt am Main, an independent imperial city. His family, who derived their name from the house of a 16th century ancestor, Zum roten Schield – “At the Red Schield” – had been involved in the textile trade, but Mayer specialised in antique dealing, and ran a mail-order business of coins and other antiquities. The capital he accumulated from this enterprise and the links it gave him with princely collectors enabled him to branch into banking.
