Declaration Poster - Common Aims of the Mid-European Nations - Philadelphia, 1918
Declaration of Common Aims of the Mid-European Nations, [Philadelphia, Pennsylvania], 1918. Hebrew and English.
The declaration was written on 26.10.1918, following three days of discussions between representatives of 13 nations, Zionists amongst them, who represented "fifty million people between the Adriatic Sea the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea". "We declare that we give our allies all we have for use in their war against our common enemy". Two columns: Hebrew and English, with signatures of twelve leaders, amongst them Thomas Massarik. Massarik declared several days earlier, in the same place, the independence of Czeckoslovakia. Itamar Ben Avi also participated in that meeting. The American Liberty Bell appears on the upper part with the writing '1776', and opposite it the Liberty Bell of Central Europe, '1918' and between them an illustration of the Independence Hall in Philadelphia where the United States declared its independence. 46X60 cm, folded. Good condition, several tears.
