Historical Origin Of he aolhschIlds' I'm
- nlense WeaIth.,-.I- Il - -
Two pictures, BY the WelI-known German
painter, Herr 0penheim, are making sort
Of a sensation at Frankfort. They belong to
the family Rothschild, and have for subject
the historical origin ofthe Rothschilds great
wealth. One of them brings before the eyes
Of the spectator the modest house in the
Frankfort .JudengAsse, which has become
famous as the cradle Of the Rothschilds.
One of the pictures shows MS the ancient,
neatly-furnished hall of Maier Rothschild,
the grandfather of the present Barons Roths-
child. The -pOrtly Frankfort merchant goes
to meet respectfully the ElectOr of Hesse,-
who is followed by several servants carrying
boxes and Golfers with gold and other valu-
ables. In the back ground stands the plain
housewife, 20 whom a little daughter clings
timidly. The BleetOr, with fun confidence,
gives to the jew his treasures in keeping,
for he has been driven away by the enemy,
and has, perhaps forever, TO leave behind
his throne and country ill -h9a iGai
The look Of the Jew inspires as with the
conviction that the Electors unconditional
trust will not be deceiYed-that, let the
events be what they may the Jews honesty
will stand as firm as his faith in the Old
IestameHt. The second picture leads us into
the socially more refined conditions Of later
period. The French tyranny has been
shaken on, the Eleetor has been reinstated in
his country, amid the cheers of his people,
who at thattime still looked upon him hope
fully and eonhdingly. .3Jsl ~
lie comes to Frankfort in order 10 take
hack his property. The faithful keeper is
dead. His hEe sons, whose exterior IL in
accordance with the claims of modern times
prove themselves by expfessiOn Z and action
the heirs of their old, upright father. With
neither too much pride nor too much hnmiI-
ity, they stand before the grateful Eieetor
returning his property, which, during all THIS
time, has plentitulAy Increased. Il is known
that from this event dates the rise Of the
Rothschild family; so far the pictures claim
an historical interest. JrfH nt
