Rutherson, whose works are in the Tate Gallery, London, is the younger brother of British impressionist painter Willliam Rothenstein. Ruthenstein studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and his friends came to include Augustus John, William Orpen, Charles Conder, Walter Sickert and Wyndham Lewis. Rutherson began his teaching career at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, and went on to become Ruskin Master of Drawing at Oxford (1929-49). In 1936 he was one of the founder members of the Pottery Group, along with Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, Paul Nash, Ben Nicholson and Graham Sutherland. "In issuing this new edition of the Haggadah, the publishers have aimed at giving to this time-honored liturgy a setting of consummate beauty, a fitting testimony to the almost filial affection in which it is held by the Jewish people" (Publisher's note, by J. Davidson). Around the outbreak of the First World War, Albert changed his name to Rutherston, due to British anti-German sentiment. He served in the British army in Eretz Israel between 1916 and 1919. In 1916 Eretz Israel was still a province in the Ottoman Empire, in 1917 the area was conquered by the British and its allies, who dismembered Turkey, "The Old Man of Europe," and then, for 20 years became it became "Mandatory Palestine," a euphemism for a quasi "colony" owned by an imperial power. Rutherston then wrote the book "Decoration in the Art of the Theatre" published in 1919 and edited the Contemporary British Artists series between 1923 and 1927. In 1927 Rutherston illustrated the Thomas Hardy book Yuletide in A Younger World, and designed posters and tickets for the London Underground. He held the post of Ruskin Master of Drawing in Oxford from 1929 to 1948. He also designed stage sets for Harley Granville-Barker's productions. He became closely associated with some of the greatest names of 20th-century English arts scene, including members of the Bloomsbury Group. This Haggada is a new critical edition with English Translation, Introduction, and Notes, Literary, Historical, and Archeological, by Cecil Roth (1899-1970), an Oxford-educated Jewish historian and educator as well as a prolific writer of more than 600 works. In addition to his histories of the Jews in England and Italy, and his masterworks, A History of the Marranos, The Jews in the Renaissance, and Jewish Art, he was the Editor-in-Chief of the Encyclopedia Judaica from 1965 until his death.
