Contact seller3-star sellerSoftcover. Condition: g- to g+. First edition. 12mo. 43pp. [3]. Illustrated tan and black paper wrappers. B/w frontispiece photographic portrait of Boris Schatz. This scarce Yiddish-languge work is an early illustrated monograph with the aim of promoting and raising money for the work of the pioneering Bezalel Art School in Jeru…salem. Founded in 1906 by Boris Schatz (who wrote the text), it was established as the first modern institute of higher learning in Palestine. Bezalel is the foundation of fine arts in Israel and is known as the most prestigious art institute in the country. The school is seen as an instrumental force in the development of modern Jewish art in the 20th century. The illustrations in b/w throughout, including the elaborately decorated front cover, along decorative head and tailpieces and large historiated initials in an indicative Jugenstill style, are all by Bezalel-educated painter and typographer Yaakov Stark (aka 'Ben David', 1881-1915). Also ampanying the text are numerous captioned b/w photographic reproductions after original images taken by photographer Zadok Basan (1882-1956). The images show the exterior and interior of the school, including many pictures of the faculty and students in class. Introductory text by then chairman of 'the Committee to help Jewish Workers in Syria and Palestine', Russian-born Zionist leader Menachem Ussishkin (1863-1941). The final pages contain advertisements in Russian, Yiddish and Hebrew. Main text throughout in Yiddish. Wrappers with some light stains, a paper label pasted on the spine, and a closed tear along the left side of the front cover. Ink stamp at the top of the front cover. Book block trimmed throughout the along the top edge, resulting in occasional minor loss of text (mostly just page numbers at the top). Interior with a closed tear to the frontispiece image. Age toning to pages throughout and a few instances of sporadic minor water spots, with most images throughout clean. Smudges and stains to pages 42-43. Wrappers in good-, interior in good+ condition overall. Yiddish title: ??????: ???? ????????????? ?????????? ??? ??????? Alternate spelling: ?????: ???? ????????????? ?????????? ??? ???????
