summary

Israel Zangwill (1864-1926) was an Anglo-Jewish novelist and playright, and early founder of the British Zionist movement. This photograph taken at the studio of F. Gutekunst in Philadelphia likely stems from the period when Zangwill, at the behest of Judge Mayer Sulzberger of Philadelphia, was invited to write a novel for the Jewish Publication Society, Children of the Ghetto (1892)
