Set of Four Coin Silver Serving Spoons by J. Einstein, circa 1860s


Set of four coin silver serving spoons crafted by J. Einstein, circa 1860s. Three of the spoons are engraved with 'PR' or 'LR'; the fourth spoon is without engraving. These spoons are from the estate of Max Rosenthal (1833-1919), a Civil War artist known for illustrating books using chromolithographic plates and for his depictions of the Army of the Potomac. Joseph Einstein was a prominent Philadelphia jeweler and silversmith active during the Civil War years, and he and Rosenthal were members of the same congregation, mentioned in *The Jews of Philadelphia* (1894).
