  • Review of Theyear's Work
    Review of theYear’s Work Melanie Aspey, Director of The Rothschild Archive Researchers Numerous visits to the London reading room have been made by members of an ambitious research project led by Pauline Prevost Marcilhacy. The project aims to record and catalogue the many thousand objects – pictures, jewels, statuary, objets d’art – presented to museums and gal- leries in France by members of the Rothschild family. Ulrich Leben, a member of the team, is a contributor to this issue of the Review. The Archive has received a number of publications and offprints from members of the research team, including Les Rothschild et la Commande architec- turale: collaboration ou maîtrise d’oeuvre, in Architectes et Commanditaires, Cas particuliers du XVIè au XXè edited by Tarek Berrada (Paris: Louvre, 2006); Charlotte de Rothschild, Artiste, Collectionneur et Mécène in Histoires d’Art – Mélanges en l’Honneur de Bruno Foucart, vol.ii, edited by B. Jobert, A. Goetz et S. Texier, (Paris: 2008) and Le grand Appartement de l’Hôtel St Florentin, fleuron de l’architecture néoclassique by Fabrice Ouziel in L’Estampille / L’Objet d’Art, September 2008. Sponsored by a Rothschild family trust in France, the project is a collaborative venture with the Louvre. Dr Junji Suzuki contacted the Archive in the course of his research into the development of Japanese gardens in France. Dr Suzuki had long suspected that the Japanese gardens at Boulogne-sur-Seine, the property of Baron Edmond de Rothschild, were the work of the renowned gardener Wasuke Hata. During his visit to the Archive he was able to confirm this and also identified a picture of Mr Hata in a collection of photographs presented to the Archive in 2005 by Baroness Benjamin de Rothschild.

  • We Are Delighted to Present to You a First-Rate Selection Of
    ` We are delighted to present to you a first-rate selection of wines, our aim is to ensure that whatever your personal taste and favourite style, every wine featured will be of the highest quality. The Five Arrows Hotel was built in 1887 as part of the Waddesdon Estate by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, due to this close connection to the Rothschild family, a large proportion of our wine list comes from Rothschild vineyards from around the world. However, just because much of our wine carries the Rothschild name, it does not mean that it all comes at a high price, we have developed a list that we believe also represents good value. The Rothschild’s have been associated with the world’s greatest wines for almost a century and a half. The spirit of innovation that characterises the family’s financial enterprises is evident equally in their wine-making; with the grands cru’s of Château Mouton Rothschild and Château Lafite, to ground breaking ventures in the newer wine-growing regions of the world. Rothschild wines can be said to truly embody all that is wonderful about the fruit of the vine. The rest of our wines have been handpicked by our wine expert to ensure that they complement, and stand up alongside this first-class selection. If you enjoy the Rothschild wines that you try in the restaurant, a visit to the wine shop at Waddesdon Manor is recommended to discover more. If you have any questions or would like any advice our staff are always happy to help.

Lionel was a keen and talented photographer whose collection of plates, a gift to The Rothschild Archive from his family, is one of the most extensive to survive in the UK. On his return from an Italian honeymoon, Lionel made a speech of thanks for their wedding gift to his parliamentary constituents of Mid Bucks revealing his dedication to his hobby and his eagerness to share its results with others: I must thank you for a very pleasant four weeks’ holiday which I have had in Italy, but I want to tell you that during those four weeks I was not idle, for I managed to take a camera with me, and I took a great many coloured photographs.

  • 66900 Rothschild Archive Review
    Review of the year’s work Melanie Aspey, Director of The Rothschild Archive Research The recorded numbers of researchers using the Archive’s resources in 2005 to 2006 saw an increase over the previous year. Scores of enquiries reached the Archive via the web site and the archivists answered questions for researchers on a diverse range of topics. Financial and eco- nomic historians researched French loans to Russia, Rothschild oil interests, the relationship between the Rothschild and Warburg banks and a history of early letters of credit. Art histori- ans found useful resources in the Archive to support research into pictures by van der Meulen, Degas, Gainsborough and van Huysum, as well as photographers, cabinet makers, interior dec- orators and art dealers associated with members of the Rothschild family. Enquiries about the history of Rothschild properties were also numerous, such as Boulogne and Grasse in France, the Luisenhof in Frankfurt, and the Pleasaunce in Norfolk. Over 50 individuals worked in the Archive’s London reading room during the year. The results of research undertaken by Professor Richard Smethurst (for a life of the Japanese politi- cian Takahashi) and Dr Jonathan Conlin (for a history of the National Gallery) are presented in this Review. Bob Pullen of the University of the Arts London made a detailed study of the Archive’s photographic collections for inclusion on a web-based directory of photographic ₁ resources in the UK. His research identified a number of unusual and notable items in the Archive’s photographic holdings. The Archive’s web site carries information about Rothschild Archive Bursaries, which are available to researchers in full-time education and engaged in projects that involve extensive use of the resources of the Archive.
