NOTE
These plates were part of a service commissioned for the 1806 marriage between Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild and Hannah Barnett Cohen, daughter of Levi Barnett Cohen, a prominent and wealthy diamond merchant who had moved his family from Amsterdam to London. Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild was the founder of the English branch of the European Rothschild family, and worked to maintain the prestigious status of the Rothschilds among investment bankers of the day. At the time of his death he was reputedly the richest man in England.
