G. J. Cohen - presentation album | State Library of New South Wales

George Judah Cohen album

This album was presented to George Judah Cohen as he left Sydney to visit Europe with his wife in February 1903. Illuminated addresses were typically presented to distinguished individuals as tokens of esteem and respect. This elaborate volume contained not only an illuminated address (shown below) but also 34 large photographic prints. They show Sydney landmarks including the Royal Exchange, where Cohen worked, and the Great Synagogue, where he worshipped.
