Description: | This family portrait shows Mrs Riva Avrutin with her sons Vella, Lazar (front) and Abba, and her daughters Rose (front), Rachel and Sarah. The family came to England from Moghilev in Russia. The first to arrive in this country was Rose, who came over in 1909 at the age of 18. She worked as dressmaker in Soho, and earned enough to bring over her parents, three brothers and two sisters. In 1919 she married Max Blau, and after the death of Mrs Avrutin in 1925 the single brothers and sisters lived with the Blaus in Dufours Place, Soho, where they also had a tailoring workshop making trousers. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Out of copyright.
