# Max Schloessinger

Max Schloessinger (September 4, 1877 – May 9, 1944) was a German Jewish scholar who worked in America, Germany, the Netherlands, and Mandatory Palestine.

## Life

Schloessinger was born on September 4, 1877, in Heidelberg, Germany, the son of Jacob Schloessinger and Brunette Oppenheimer.
Schloessinger attended the Heidelberg public school and gymnasium. He then went to the Heidelberg University, the University of Vienna, the University of Berlin (graduating from there with a Ph.D. in 1901), the Israelitisch-Theologische Lehranstalt in Vienna, the Veitel-Heine-Ephraim'sche Lehranstalt, and the Lehranstalt für die Wissenschaft des Judenthums in Berlin (where he was ordained a rabbi in 1903). In 1903, he went to America and joined the editorial staff of The Jewish Encyclopedia in New York City.
In 1904, Schloessinger resigned as office editor of The Jewish Encyclopedia to join Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio, as its Professor of Biblical Exegesis and Librarian. He, Max Margolis, and Henry Malter all resigned from the College in 1907 due to their support for Zionism. Schloessinger returned to Germany afterwards and began a successful import-export business. He then moved to the Netherlands shortly after the outbreak of World War I for business reasons. Active in the Dutch Zionist movement, he served as director of the Jewish National Fund. He resided in The Hague.
Schloessinger immigrated to Mandatory Palestine in 1930. He was friends with Hebrew University president Judah Leon Magnes since they were students at the University of Berlin and was involved with Hebrew University since it was founded in 1925. He became a member of the University's Board of Governors in 1925 and the Executive Council in 1935, and from 1930 to 1935 he was acting chancellor. He retired in 1939 and moved to the United States, settling in New York City.
In 1910, Schloessinger married Dr. Miriam C. Schaar, chief of the Bureau of School Hygiene in Cincinnati. They had a daughter, Hadassah.
Schloessinger died at Mount Sinai Hospital on May 9, 1944. He was buried in Westchester Hills Cemetery.

## Biography

Nixon was the youngest of nine children of Mary Eliza Bedington and George Stephen Nixon. She grew up at Woodside Park in London. An interest in wildlife came early and she studied at the Camden School of Art, receiving her teacher's certificate in 1911. Nixon then trained in book illustration at the Birmingham School of Art after which she worked as a commercial illustrator for 15 years, often collaborating with Dorothy Newsome-Glenn to illustrate magazines and books. During the First World War, the two worked at Armstrong Siddeley and after the War they illustrated Enid Blyton stories and an edition of Alice in Wonderland. Nixon also regularly exhibited paintings of birds and natural history subjects in Birmingham and Coventry at this time. In 1928 the Oxford University Press, OUP, commissioned the two to visit India and produce illustrations. Nixon went on to spend 26 years in India producing illustrations, including animal and bird posters, for the railways in India, the Bombay Natural History Society, horse portraits and a mural of wild duck. She also became an artist for the Times of India and the Bombay Weekly. Nixon met and married Victor Blundell while in India. The couple returned to England to live in Wilmslow, Cheshire and then Burwash, East Sussex. She continued to illustrate books and also wrote her own children's books with illustrations, based on the lives of her pets, a Siamese cat and a Dachshund puppy. Apart from sketches, Nixon also worked with oil, gouache, charcoal and watercolours. She won several awards for her work and was an elected member of the Society of Women Artists.

# Alfred Leete

Alfred Ambrose Chew Leete (1882–1933) was a British graphic artist. Born at Thorpe Achurch, Northamptonshire, he studied at Kingsholme School and The School of Science and Art (now Weston College) in Weston-super-Mare, before moving to London in 1899 and taking a post as an artist with a printer.
Leete's career as a paid artist began in 1897, when the Daily Graphic accepted one of his drawings. Later, he contributed regularly to a number of magazines, including Punch, the Strand Magazine and Tatler. As a commercial artist he designed numerous posters and advertisements, especially in the 1910s and 1920s, for such brands as Rowntree's, Guinness and Bovril, and his series of advertisements for the Underground Electric Railways Company (the London Underground) are very well known.
Leete's work as a wartime propagandist includes the poster for which he is most renowned, the Lord Kitchener poster design, which first appeared on the cover of the weekly magazine London Opinion on 5 September 1914. During the First World War Leete also drew two comics Schmidt the Spy and The Bosch Book, which ridiculed the German army.
Leete died of a seizure, following a heart attack, at his home in Pembroke Square, London, in 1933. He had suffered from high blood pressure and heart trouble, and had been taken ill three weeks earlier in Italy. The Rome Express was stopped at Genoa to allow him to return to England.
Jim Aulich, in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, wrote of Leete that "His prolific output was characterized by its humour, keen observation of the everyday, and an eye for strong design." In 2004, his work was displayed in his native Weston-super-Mare, at the Weston Museum.

# A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" is a common saying that originated from a Chinese proverb. The quotation is from chapter 64 of the Tao Te Ching ascribed to Laozi, although it is also erroneously ascribed to his contemporary Confucius. This saying teaches that even the longest and most difficult ventures have a starting point; something which begins with one first step.
The phrase is also translated as "a journey of a thousand miles begins from under the feet" and "a thousand mile journey begins where one stands".
# HMS Carnatic (1823)

HMS Carnatic was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 21 October 1823 at Portsmouth Dockyard. Her design was based on HMS Cornwallis, as completed.
Carnatic was used first as a store and then as a coal hulk in 1860, before becoming a powder store on loan to the War Department between 1886 and 1891, and then subsequently used by the Admiralty.
The ship was sold out of the navy in 1914 and broken up in Germany

## Figurehead

The figurehead of HMS Carnatic is a bust figurehead depicting a man of Indian heritage. He wears a white tunic and red turban, both of which are adorned with gold jewellery.
Commissioned by the East India Company it is likely that the ship was named after a series of military conflicts in the mid-18th century that became known as the Carnatic wars. Fought in the Karnataka region of India between the British, French, Marathas and Mysore for control of the coastal strip of eastern India from Nellore southward, the East India Company successfully established its dominance over European trade with India. This ultimately led to the Company’s near total control over the continent and eventually led to the establishment of the British Raj. The ship’s name, therefore, was a commemoration of this pivotal moment for the East India Company.
When a ship was named after a country or region, figurehead carvers were encouraged to design a person who visually represented the area. In most cases, unless the figurehead was based upon a specific person or character, depictions of people were usually generic. Carnatic’s design was likely borne of sketches and descriptions of people encountered in India by naval personnel who had travelled there, rather than an attempt to represent someone specifically and authentically.
Records suggest that his tunic was at one time painted in stripes, though there are no paint references regarding his physical appearance. The paint used on the figurehead’s face has been critiqued for being too dark and unrealistic of an Indian person. The decision was likely based around the fact that people from South India, (Karnataka is located in southwest India), often have darker skin. Genetically this is due to higher melanin production found in people of South Indian heritage where the climate is more tropical and, historically, might be attributed to migration and interactions between people of different ethnic groups that have contributed to the genetic diversity of the region. Variation occurs in all skin colours due to a multitude of factors. It is likely that a dark paint was mixed without much consideration for accuracy and authenticity, particularly for a modern audience.
When the ship was sold for breaking up, the Admiralty instructed the figurehead be allocated to the Museum at Portsmouth, where it was eventually included in the 1919 edition of the Portsmouth Dockyard Museum’s catalogue. The figurehead is part of the collection at the National Museum of the Royal Navy, Portsmouth.
