Max Rosenheim

Also known as: Max Rosenheim; primary name: Rosenheim, Max
Details: individual; collector; British; Male
Life dates: 1849-1911
Biography: Collector; elder brother of Maurice Rosenheim (q.v.), both wine merchants, who collected Renaissance works of art and were generous donors to the BM; both were members of the original Friends of the British Museum (q.v.), together with C.D.E Fortnum (q.v.). During 1904-5 Max worked as a volunteer in P&D arranging the Franks collection of foreign bookplates, a subject in which he was expert, and in 1905 intended to write a catalogue of them (see Colvin's report dated 26 May 1905). In 1907 gave a large group of book plates to the BM (1907,0930.1 ff.). Much of their collection sold in 1923 after the death of Maurice (see list of sales under his name). Bookplates (ex-libris) from Max's collection were presented by Mrs Theodore Rosenheim in 1932 and stamped with the date and the mark reproduced in Lugt 396a with the monogram BMRM. A few were extracted and placed in the main collection and were later given 'U' numbers; the remainder were later numbered in pencil 1-8689 and the register number is created from this unique number, eg Rosenheim 12. The collection is kept apart, and is arranged in boxes by country.
