New York, 1907. 32 page, Leather bound book, 8 by 11 inches, photograph of Mr. Lehman in front. The book includes a biography of Lehman and tributes, eulogies, letters of condolence celebrating Mr. Lehman's work for the New York Cotton Exchange; New York Tribune; Hebrew Orphan Asylum; Temple Manu=El; Corn Exchange Bank; and, many others. Emanuel Lehman was born in Rimpar, Bavaria, February 15, 1827 and died in New York City, January 10, 1907. He started his business career in Montgomery, Alabama in the firm H.Lehman & Bro. His younger brother Mayer joined the firm a few years later and the firm became known as "Lehman Brothers". Emanuel moved to NY in the early 1850's. He devoted a great deal of time to philanthropic work and was active on many boards. He died before the Panic of 1907 that J.P.Morgan helped resolve and it is ironic that his firm was one of the first of the major financial firms to go under in the Panic of 2008 and 2009. Rare and historic Lehman Brothers related item.
