Engraving with a Bust of Theodore Herzl. Herman Struck, Switzerland-Israel, End of the 1940s.
Original engraving of Theodore Herzl by Herman Struck, Switzerland-Israel, end of the 1940s. 50 cm. tall, 40 cm. wide. Soft-ground etching (vernis mou). Famed bust of Herzl, made by Herman Struck (signed in the plate), still seen today as a symbol of the State of Israel. The engraving was made after Struck’s meeting with Herzl in Vienna in May, 1903. Hebrew and French text were added underneath the frame, “Theodore Herzl visionary and creator of the State of Israel”. It was apparently printed in Switzerland soon after Israel was established. Very fine condition.
