Alfred Alvarez Newman (1851 – 21 January 1887), also known as Alfred Abraham, [2] was an English metalworker and art collector.
He was the founder of the picturesque Old English Smithy on Archer Street, Haymarket, which became a place of fashionable resort during the " London season." [3] Among his clients were the Dukes of Westminster and Norfolk, the Marquis of Northampton, Louisa de Rothschild, Coutts Lindsay, and Lawrence Alma-Tadema. [4]
Newman's interests included Anglo-Jewish history and archaeology, and was the author of several papers communicated to the Society of Architects and similar bodies. [5] He possessed a unique collection of Jewish prints and tracts bearing on these subjects, [6] which was acquired by Asher Isaac Meyers after his death. [7]
Newman was an organizer of the Anglo-Jewish Historical Exhibition of 1887, at which much of his collection was exhibited after his death, [8] and was among the first to give his support to the formation of the Jewish Historical Society of England, which was afterwards founded in 1893. [9] It was due largely to Newman's efforts that a proposal to demolish the Bevis Marks Synagogue was eventually defeated. [10]
