"Vienna and its Secessionist movement at the turn of the last century is the focus of this extraordinary social portrait told through an eminent Viennese family, headed by Hermine and Moriz Gallia, who were among the great patrons of early-twentieth-century Viennese culture at its peak. Good Living Street takes us from the Gallias middle-class prosperity in the provinces of central Europe to their arrival in Vienna, following the provision of Emperor Franz Joseph in 1848 that gave Jews freedom of movement and residence, legalized their religious services, opened public service and professions up to them, and allowed them to marry.".

Condition: Very good. - Sepia-toned portrait, approximately 4 inches high by 3-3/8 inches wide, clipped from a magazine & mounted on cream paper & then on a piece of card 6 inches high by 4 inches wide. Inscribed & signed in blue ink on the mount below the photo: "To Seymour Halpern / With all good wishes for his artistic future. / M. Fromkes / 1930". The mount is slightly soiled. The paper is creased & the card chipped at bottom left. Very good. Maurice Fromkes [1872-1931] was a Polish artist who was born in Vilna, Poland and brought to the U.S. as a young child. He lived and worked in New York and Spain. He was best known for his paintings of Spanish life and is listed in Spanish texts on painters in Spain.The Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. Seller Inventory # 34443
