This is attached to the rear board by an 8" X 10 1/4" 3 level white plastic rectangle affixed to the book by 6 raised round brads. 6 blue stones are used, 2 in the Torah and 4 in the crown above it. Boards are vertically grained to look like wood, all three edges are dyed orange with white headbands.

Of the 17 illustrations, sizes vary from 3/8" X 11 1/2" to 3 3/4" X 8 3/4". Many are signed and all are loosely top-glued to their respective pages. # 17, ' Landscape in Galilee ' is dated 1957, and there are 2 copies of ' Had Gadia' glued over top of each other in what is probably a production fault. Digital Pictures available on request, as only pictures can accurately detail the metal plate decoration. A rare, uncommon book! Bookseller's Inventory # 090844.
