EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Lewisohn, Samuel W." and dated May 7, 1914, captures the direct gaze of Samuel Adolph Lewisohn as he looks into the camera with a serious expression. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases Lewisohn dressed in formal attire, including a waistcoat, dress shirt, jacket, and tie. He wears pince-nez glasses, a common accessory for men of the era. Samuel A. Lewisohn was an American financier, lawyer, and philanthropist. He was born in Germany but immigrated to the United States in 1882 and became a naturalized citizen in 1888. Lewisohn was a prominent figure in the financial world, serving as a partner in the investment banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. He was also a member of the New York Stock Exchange and the American Bar Association. Despite his successful career, Lewisohn was known for his philanthropic endeavors. He was a generous donor to various charitable organizations, including the Hebrew Technical Institute and the Jewish Theological Seminary. His philanthropy extended beyond the Jewish community, and he also supported the American Red Cross and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The portrait, taken in a studio setting, showcases the fashion trends of the 1910s. The monochromatic palette, coupled with Lewisohn's formal attire, adds to the timeless quality of the image. The photograph is a testament to the heritage and art of the early 20th century and serves as a reminder of the significant contributions made by Samuel A. Lewisohn to American society.
