Baron Maurice de Hirsch (1831-1896) was a Jewish-German philanthropist who assisted, through the Jewish Colonization Association which he founded, East European Jews to immigrate to the USA and mainly to Argentina in the late 19th cent. The trade school established by Baron Hirsch was financed by a fund founded by Hirsch for the welfare of Jewish immigrants to the USA. Professions such as carpentry, painting, plumbing, mechanics and electricity were studied in this school. There was also a printing training program, and the catalogue presented was printed by the students of this school. [1], 32 pp, 23 cm. Fair-good condition.
