ITEM DESCRIPTION:


1854 Warschau Poland, note certified by the signature of the founder of the Jewish banking house JOZEF EPSTEIN

Bankers and industrialists in Warsaw. Jakub Epstein (1771–1843) was a merchant, Polish army officer, and Freemason. His sons Josef (1795–1876), Adam (1799–1870), Jan (1805–1885), and Herman (1806–1867) all played leading roles in the economic and social life of the Polish Kingdom. Herman’s sons Mikołaj (1831–1902) and Mieczysław (1833–1914) continued in these roles as well.

Born in Pilica, Jakub Epstein settled in Warsaw during the era of the Four-Year Sejm (1788–1791). He married Henriette Glickson and amassed a fortune in candle manufacturing. He took part in the Kościuszko uprising of 1794 and was one of a few wealthy Warsaw Jews to promote both philanthropy and religious reform. Epstein increased his fortune by provisioning the Russian, Napoleonic, and Polish forces during the Napoleonic wars. He chaired the founding committee of Warsaw’sfirst Jewish hospital, belonged to numerous Masonic lodges, and was a founding member of Warsaw’s first Reform synagogue (Daniłowiczowska Street, 1802). In 1840 he became a hereditary citizen of Warsaw.

Josef Epstein established a countrywide private bank, served as adviser to the Ministry of Finance of the Kingdom of Poland, and, in 1825, was a member of the advisory board of the State Committee for Jewish Affairs. With Antoni-Edward Fraenkel, he floated a 150-million zloty government bond issue. He succeeded his father as chair of the Jewish hospital, initiating construction of an extension (1837) and the establishment of a Jewish convalescent home (1845). He also chaired the Praga burial society.
