Der Goldener Oparplane [Golden Airplane] written and illustrated by Yosef Tunkel, Warsaw 1914. First edition.
The author Yosef Tunkel [1881-1949]. Author, writer, poet, and cartoonist in Yiddish, a native of Belarus, mainly active in Poland and America, his pen name was 'Der Tunkeler' - the dark one, in an attempt to conceal his name. [Like in the book before us: "Written and illustrated by the dark one"], his literary style is considered a successor to the author 'Shalom Aleichem'. He was miraculously saved during the Holocaust when he escaped from the detention camp in Strasbourg and fled to America.
