View shows the Joseph Porton Room at Sheepscar Branch Library which contained the library of Rabbi Moses Abrahams. Abrahams was the minister of the Great Synagogue between 1886 and 1919. After his death, his collection of Jewish literature and general books was donated to the community before becoming an integral part of the Joseph Porton Collection. Joseph Porton owned a printing and stationery business on North Street and donated ?1000 for the furniture and fittings of this room, designed in Indian Silver Greywood and Australian Walnut. The Joseph Porton Collection is now housed in the Central Library. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Sheepscar Branch Library Joseph Porton Room | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
