Bibliografia puțin cunoscută a lui Jack Corbu, un vice-consul britanic la Brăila (1880-1938) / The little-known biography of Jack the Crow, a british vice-counsul to Braila (1880-1938)

Abstract

This study is based on some documents stored in the diplomatic archives of the Diplomatic Corps in Braila and Galati. In 1925, Jack the Crow C, a Jewish entrepreneur in Romania, became vice consul of Great Britain in Braila. The interest shown by the British political and economic circles for the trade and navigation at the Lower Danube represented a constant of the Romanian -British relationship in interwar period. The question of the foreign consulates from the area of the Lower Danube has been treated insufficiently in the Romanian historiography. In this line, the author presents the influence of the Jack the Crow's family in international trade at the Lower Danube..
