#Spaziergängerin mit Gans

[mote-historie]

Ruth Jacobi, Spaziergängerin mit Gans, Humorous street snapshot from the Jewish Quarter of a woman walking a goose by the collar as if the fawl were her dog in the streets of New York City, 1928

Ruth Jacobi was the sister of Lotte Jacobi. Photography ran in the Jacobi family. Lotte and Ruth's great-grandfather, Samuel Jacobi, visited Paris between 1839 and 1842, where he obtained a camera, a license, and some instruction from L.J.M. Daguerre and then returned to Thorn to set up a studio. He prospered at his trade and eventually passed the business on to his son, Alexander. Alexander, in turn, handed the business down to his three sons, the eldest of whom was Lotte and Ruth's father, Sigismund. 

Ruth Jacobi emigrated in 1935 to New York, where she opened a studio together with her sister Lotte Jacobi.
