'Aircraft in Israel', photo album, incomplete printing experiment, Printed by “Land of Israel”, 1938, rare
According to the original plan, this book was supposed to hold 40 aerial photographs of Israel.
This is an experimental printing of the book, with first lines of the introductions and dotted lines marking where the caption should be placed. Further along, there are eight spectacular images taken from an airplane flying over Israel, and then empty pages, where the rest of the photos were supposed to be.
This book owner manually completed the book: he cut pictures from publications of the Jewish National Fund and glued them to the blank pages.
In fact, the whole book was never published. What remains is this book.
It may be a sole copy.
The book appears in neither the bibliography institute nor the National Library.
Rare!
Condition: Good.
