The Anglo-Jewish Historical Exhibition was held at the Royal Albert Hall, London, from April to June, 1887. The exhibits included many antiquarian remains illustrating the history of the Jews in England, together with a collection of objects of ecclesiastical art and miscellaneous Jewish antiquities. The idea of the exhibition originated by Isidore Spielmann, an engineer, who enlisted the co-operation of a large number of English antiques dealers and collectors. Frederic David Mocatta, a Jewish-English financier and philanthropist served as the president of the exhibition. Spielmann served as an honorary secretary on the exhibition committee and later - as president of the Jewish Historical Society of England, from 1902 to 1904.
