Official Photograph of the Chief Rabbi of England, Rabbi Nathan Marcus Adler. England, Late 19th Century
Rabbi Nathan Marcus ben Mordechai HaKohen Adler (1803-1890) was the second chief rabbi of the British Empire. He was born in Hanover and was named after his illustrious grandfather, the kabbalist Rabbi Nathan Adler of Frankfurt. In his youth, he served as rabbi in Würzburg and in Oldenburg. He was later appointed rabbi of the country. He was the first chief rabbi of Germany who held a doctorate, and he was considered one of the pioneers of the modern rabbinate. He was appointed rabbi of the Great Synagogue in London in 1845 and served as rabbi of the British Empire.
The photograph was taken in Barraud's studio, which was the studio that supplied portraits for the majority of the nobility and social elite of those days.
17.5x24.5 cm, affixed to an official Barraud's cardboard.
Fine condition. The photograph itself is in very fine condition. Tears and lack in the cardboard.
