Catalogue Note
The scenes are after paintings by Moritz Daniel Oppenheim (1799-1882), published in 1866 as Family Scenes from Jewish Life of Former Days: (clockwise from above) Pesah Matzah Maror, Kindle the Lights, Dwell in the land and cherish faithfulness (Psalms 37:3), You shall dwell in booths seven days (Leviticus 23:42), and Blessed are you O Lord who gladdens the groom and bride.
Another example of the "Wedding" plate is in the collection of the Jewish Museum, London (JM465), illustrated Treasures of Jewish Heritage, p. 111.
