"The Binding of Isaac" – Lithographic Poster – Printed by Monsohn, Jerusalem, Early 20th Century
The Binding of Isaac, lithograph poster. Jerusalem: Monsohn Press [early 20th century].
Large poster with depiction of the Binding of Isaac in bold color. Along the poster border are cartouches with monogrammic representations of the word "Yerushalem" (Jerusalem); both the border and lettering conform to a style associated with the Bezalel School. At the top of the poster is the (Hebrew) inscription "And the Binding of Isaac for his descendants on this day with mercy shall You remember" (from the conclusion of the "Zikhronot" segment of the "Amidah" of the "Mussaf" prayer for Rosh Hashanah), translated into both English and German. An additional (Hebrew) inscription appears at the bottom: "Gift of memory and a remembrance of love from the Holy City of Jerusalem, may it be rebuilt and re-established speedily in our time, Amen."
60X50 cm. Fair condition. Numerous tears, including open tears (mostly to edges), professionally restored, causing some damage to print. Creases. Minor stains to edges. Matted.
