About the author
Max Rothschild appears to have been a London-based art dealer and writer active in the early 1900s. He is credited as the author of Gainsborough (1909), a compact study of the painter Thomas Gainsborough that was published in the "Masterpieces in Colour" series.
Sources about the Sackville Gallery describe him as one of the gallery's owners and operators, working with Robert René Meyer-Sée. Those accounts also identify him as the son of the dealer David Rothschild and note his interest in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British and European art.
Some records also connect him with the pen name "Max Roldit." Clear biographical details beyond his art-dealing and writing career were limited in the sources reviewed, so this overview focuses on the parts of his life that could be confirmed.
