The American Jewish Historical Society series “American Jewish Portraits” has over 100 digitized daguerreotypes, photographs and paintings of Jewish individuals from the 18th to 20th centuries. Most are of the well-to-do, and they are clad in the latest fashions of the time period. Interestingly enough, it is impossible to discern them as Jewish, as the portraits give no clues to their religion.
