"The Sassoons traces the global history of the Sassoon family, entrepreneurs and patrons
of remarkable art and architecture, from Baghdad to Mumbai, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and
London" ; "The Sassoons were prosperous as bankers and treasurers to the Ottoman sultans
in nineteenth-century Bagdad, until they were driven out by religious persecution.
Assuming the precarious status of stateless Jews, the family dispersed, establishing
businesses in Mumbai, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and London. This volume tells the sweeping
global and intergenerational story of the Sassoon family through the works of art
they collected. Lavishly illustrated with paintings, porcelain, manuscripts, Judaica,
and architecture, it highlights family members, including numerous accomplished women,
who were patrons of art and sponsors of remarkable buildings in their rarefied, upper-class
worlds."
