Picture of Rabbi Shmuel Salant with Members of Yeshivat Etz Chaim and Talmud Torah Etz Chaim and their Students. Jerusalem, Early 20th Century. Rare

Original photograph by photographer Tzadok Bassan, featuring Rabbi Shmuel Salant, the rabbis and students of Talmud Torah and Yeshiva Etz Chaim, when Etz Chaim was located in "Churvah"courtyard in the Old City of Jerusalem. Jerusalem, early 20th century.

Specifications: [1] photograph. 22x27 cm. Pasted onto cardboard, which serves as the picture's frame.

Special Features: The Jerusalem photographer Tzadok Bassan integrated the picture before us from several photographs showing Rabbi Shmuel Salant, the rabbis and the many students of the Yeshivat Etz Chaim institutions, on a backdrop of the Churvah courtyard in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Above Rabbi Shmuel Salant's picture a note was added: "This picture was made for the benefit of Etz Chaim only, and no individual or institution has permission to copy it." Above and below the picture is the caption: "תמונת האי סבא קדישא זקן הרבנים הגאון האמתי ציס"ע מרן רבנו שמואל סלאנט שליט"א. ה"ה ראש הרבנים לק"ק אשכנזים ונשיא התלמוד תורה הכללית והישיבה הציבורית עץ חיים בירושלים". The photograph was taken in Rabbi Salant's old age, apparently close to the year he passed away.

Condition: Very fine. The photograph is whole, and the subjects are sharp and clear. There are slight flaws in the outer black casing surrounding the photograph, and tears in the cardboard frame's corners.
