Description: | This poster advertised the opening of a new kosher butcher's shop. Kosher butchers have to slaughter and prepare their meat according to very strict rules, to comply with Jewish dietary laws. The shop was run by Lewis Gersholowitz (1880-1943), who came to England from Eastern Europe and initially worked in the tailoring industry. Later, he set up a shop selling housewares and paraffin, and eventually he opened the butcher's shop. The poster is printed in Yiddish as well as English. Yiddish is derived from a mixture of Hebrew and German, and was the first language of many Jewish immigrants to London in the 19th and early 20th centuries. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Out of copyright.
