This book provides a collective biography of the Mond family and
explores the philanthropic activities of Ludwig Mond and of his two
sons Alfred and Robert in the field of art collecting, the fight
against early childhood mortality, the advancement of research and
of higher education, archaeological excavations in Egypt and
Palestine, and for the founding of the State of Israel from the
1890s to the late 1930s. These activities resulted in the creation
of the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome, the donation of Ludwig Mond's
art collection to the National Gallery in London, the funding of
the excavation of the sacred Buchis Bulls at Armant in Egypt, the
establishment of the Children's Hospital in London, and the support
of many natural science institutes and associations in England,
France, Germany, and Italy.
