Jewish Portraits is a collection of biographical sketches of prominent Jewish figures throughout history, written by Lady Katie Magnus. The book covers a wide range of individuals, from biblical figures such as Moses and King David, to more modern figures like Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. Each portrait provides a detailed account of the person's life, achievements, and contributions to Jewish culture and society. Lady Magnus draws upon her own knowledge and research to provide a unique and insightful perspective on each individual, highlighting their struggles, triumphs, and impact on the Jewish community. The book is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in Jewish history, culture, and identity.1888. The papers which form this volume originally appeared in the pages of Good Words, Macmillan's Magazine, The National review, and The Spectator. The author fancies that there is enough of family likeness, and hopes there is enough of friendly interest, in these Jewish portraits to justify their reappearance in a little gallery to themselves.
