Description
RARE Passover Haggada illustrated by Jacob Steinhardt (1887-1968), an eminent Israeli woodcut artist and painter. The first edition of this magnificent Haggada was first published in 1921 in a limited edition of two hundred signed and numbered copies. In 1923 a smaller, cheaper version was published by Ferdinand Ostertag, and despite the many mistakes that appeared in this edition, it was acclaimed by the Jewish press all over the world and made Steinhardt famous as a woodcut artist. The present facsimile edition is based on Goeritz original edition and preserves both its size and the quality of its execution. 350x245mm. Unpaginated (56 pages). Hardcover with gilt lettering on front cover and spine laid in illustrated slipcase. Slipcase yellowing. Slipcase edges and spine bumped. Slipcase cloth hinges slightly rubbed and dirty. Spine edges bumped. Three small lumps on front inner cover/three small bump-marks on front whitepage. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare facsimile edition of Passover Haggadah, beautifully illustrated by one of the most significant 20th-century Jewish graphic artists, is in good condition.
