Large Photograph of the Second Assembly of Representatives of the Jewish Community 1926
Large photograph of the Second Assembly of Representatives of the Jewish Community 1926. Photographer: Zion Photography Studio, Y. Berlind, Jerusalem 1926.
Nice photomontage, with pictures pasted of all the 'Representatives of the Jewish Community' [including David Yellin, Ussishkin, Rabbi Yaakov Meir, Jabotinsky and others], in such a way that their pictures create a star of David, in the center of which are pictures of Herzl, Nordau and Echad Haam. Nice illustrations of the Hebrew University, a map of the Land of Israel, a worker plowing the land and then sitting "תחת גפנו ותחת תאנתו" ["under his vine and under his fig tree"] and a shining sun. [Under Herzl's picture, the words 'אם רוצים אתם אין זו אגדה' ['If you want it, it is no dream'].
28x20 cm. Attached to a 23x31 cm. board. Some stains in the cardboard frame, the photograph is in fine condition.
