Paris Orléans is the flagship of the Rothschild banking Group and controls the Rothschild Group's banking activities including N M Rothschild & Sons and Rothschild & Cie Banque. Directors of the company include Eric de Rothschild, Robert de Rothschild and Count Philippe de Nicolay. From 1895 through 1907 they loaned nearly $450,000,000 (equivalent to $13,100,000,000 in 2021) to European governments. During the 19th century, the family bought up a large proportion of the property in Mayfair, London. In one instance, the family network enabled Nathan to receive in London the news of Wellington's victory at the Battle of Waterloo a full day ahead of the government's official messengers. Rothschild's first concern on this occasion was not to the potential financial advantage on the market which the knowledge would have given him; he and his courier immediately took the news to the government.
Château de Ferrières, the largest château of the 19th century, was built in 1854. It is set on a 30 km2 estate outside Paris. It was charitably donated by the family to the University of Paris in 1975. The name of Rothschild became synonymous with extravagance and great wealth; and the family was renowned for its art collecting, for its palaces, as well as for its philanthropy. By the end of the century, the family owned, or had built, at the lowest estimates, over 41 palaces, of a scale and luxury perhaps unparalleled even by the richest royal families.

In 2006, the bank recorded a pre-tax annual profit of £83.2 million with assets of £5.5 billion. The second French branch was founded by Nathaniel de Rothschild (1812–1870). Born in London, he was the fourth child of the founder of the British branch of the family, Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777–1836). In 1850 Nathaniel Rothschild moved to Paris to work with his uncle James Mayer Rothschild.
The back of the book also shared the locations of the photographs used in the book. A survey of houses from all over the world, the different styles they can take, places they can be, and materials they are made from. This book would be very good whenever introducing a unit on other cultures or preparing to study one culture in particular.
About the Author
While other Rothschilds had escaped the Nazis, Louis Rothschild was imprisoned for a year and only released after a substantial ransom was paid by his family. After Louis was allowed to leave the country in March 1939, the Nazis placed the firm of S M von Rothschild under compulsory administration. Nazi officers and senior staff from Austrian museums also emptied the Rothschild family estates of all their valuables. Following the war, the Austrian Rothschilds were unable to reclaim much of their former assets and properties. The system of the five brothers and their successor sons would all but disappear by World War I.
The 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia described the Rothschilds as "the guardians of the papal treasure". In Vienna, Salomon Mayer Rothschild established a bank in the 1820s and the Austrian family had vast wealth and position. The crash of 1929 brought problems, and Baron Louis von Rothschild attempted to shore up the Creditanstalt, Austria's largest bank, to prevent its collapse. Nevertheless, during the Second World War they had to surrender their bank to the Nazis and flee the country. Their Rothschild palaces, a collection of vast palaces in Vienna built and owned by the family, were confiscated, plundered and destroyed by the Nazis. The palaces were famous for their sheer size and for their huge collections of paintings, armour, tapestries and statues .
In 1923, James Nathaniel Charles Léopold Rothschild, son of Henri James Nathaniel Charles Rothschild and Mathilde Sophie Henriette de Weisweiller, married Claude du Pont of the Du Pont family. After the death of James Jacob de Rothschild in 1868, his eldest son Alphonse Rothschild took over the management of the family bank and was the most active in support for Eretz Israel. The Rothschild family archives show that during the 1870s the family contributed nearly 500,000 francs per year on behalf of Eastern Jewry to the Alliance Israélite Universelle. Jewish solidarity in the family was not homogeneous.
Overall I thought that this was a very creative picture book. I think from the cover I was not expecting what ended up being in the story but I was surprised in a good way! I think that this is a great book for young students to read because the pictures tell so much with such few words. The pictures are all very clear and high quality and give a glimpse into what it is like to live in different houses around the world.
Baron David de Rothschild, then 39, decided to stay and rebuild, creating a new entity named Rothschild & Cie Banque, with just three employees and €830,000 (US$1 million) in capital. Today, the Paris operation has 22 partners and accounts for a significant part of the global business. There are two branches of the family connected to France. In 1847, Anthony de Rothschild was made a hereditary baronet of the United Kingdom.
