Tracing 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 Baghdad, until they were driven out by religious persecution and economic pressures. Assuming the precarious status of stateless Jews, the family dispersed, establishing businesses in Mumbai, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and London. Their wealth enabled them to collect splendid works of art from the various cultures that welcomed them. This volume tells the sweeping global story of the Sassoon family through the works of art they collected. Lavishly illustrated with paintings, porcelain, manuscripts, Judaica, and architecture, it foregrounds family members who were patrons of art and sponsors of remarkable buildings, highlighting the role of the family’s accomplished women. Rachel Sassoon was editor of both the Times and the Observer newspapers in London at the turn of the twentieth century. The renowned war poet Siegfried Sassoon was a cousin. Victor Sassoon hosted the glitterati of the 1920s and 1930s at his Cathay Hotel in Shanghai. This fascinating and elegant book—with gilt edges and a ribbon bookmark—features a family tree and explores generations of Sassoons for whom art was not only a mark of their arrival in the rarefied world of the upper class but a pleasure in itself.

从巴格达到孟买、上海、香港和伦敦，追溯沙逊家族、企业家和杰出艺术和建筑赞助人的全球历史
在十九世纪巴格达，作为奥斯曼苏丹的银行家和财务主管，沙松王朝繁荣昌盛，直到他们被宗教迫害和经济压力驱逐。由于处于无国籍犹太人的不稳定状态，这个家庭分散开来，在孟买、香港、上海和伦敦创业。他们的财富使他们能够从欢迎他们的各种文化中收集出色的艺术品。这本书通过他们收集的艺术作品讲述了沙宣家族席卷全球的故事。它用绘画、瓷器、手稿、犹太画和建筑进行了大量的说明，突出了作为艺术赞助人和杰出建筑赞助人的家庭成员，突出了家庭中有成就的女性的作用。雷切尔·萨松是20世纪初伦敦《泰晤士报》和《观察家报》的编辑。著名的战争诗人西格夫里·萨松是他的堂兄弟。维克多·沙宣在他位于上海的国泰酒店招待了上世纪20年代和30年代的名流。这本迷人而优雅的书——带有镀金边和丝带书签——以家谱为特色，探索了一代又一代的沙松人。对他们来说，艺术不仅是他们进入上流社会的标志，而且本身就是一种乐趣。
