Mapah Derech Emet, map of Eretz Israel indicating the travels of the Jewish people through the desert, the territories of the tribes and new Jewish colonies, drawn by Avigdor Malkov. Warsaw, 1899. Second edition. Hebrew and some Russian.
Map of Eretz Israel oriented as is typical in early maps, with the east at the top of the map. Both ancient and modern information are represented on the map - markings of the travels of the Jewish people through the desert after the Exodus, alongside new Jewish colonies such as Hadera, Kfar Saba, Yehud, Motza and more, some of which may have never before been recorded on a map, as well as the Jaffa-Jerusalem train line (inaugurated 1892, two years before the first edition of this map was published) and the Suez Canal.
Author's description of the map in upper right corner. Russian title, legend and scale bar in lower left corner, a second scale bar in upper right corner. Verses and quotations from prayers on the longing for Redemption and the return to Eretz Israel are printed around the map.
Map: approx. 78X52.5 cm. Fair condition. Browned paper. Map dissected in 20 sections and mounted on linen (for folding). Tears and minor open tears. Framed, approx. 88.5X63 cm.
Laor 895 (first edition, 1894; this edition not recorded).
Reference: Hatishbi, Ariel, ed., Holy Land in Maps. Jerusalem: Israel Museum and Ministry of Defense, 2001. P. 134. Hebrew.

East wall of the great synagogue in Kisvárda (Kleinwardein), Hungary, 1901.
Watercolor on canvas, mounted on paper. Signed and dated. Legend (in Hungarian) on the card backing the drawing.
The drawing presents the east wall of the Kisvárda great synagogue, with an elaborate Torah ark surmounted by a stained glass rose window.
The Jewish community of Kisvárda, a town in north-east Hungary, was documented already in the 1730s. The community was large in relation to the town, and flourished from a financial viewpoint. Its members were merchants, industrialists and farmers; the community managed numerous institutions, including a bank and a Jewish hospital. Prior to WWII, the Jews made up about a third of the town's population. The magnificent and large synagogue, whose east wall is depicted in this drawing, and which still stands today, was built in 1901. The building was designed by Ferenc Szabolcsi (Grósz). The rose window on the east wall of the structure, which serves nowadays as a museum, is slightly different from the one depicted in the drawing. Most of the Kisvárda Jewish community perished in the Holocaust.
34X23 cm. Mounted on 41.5X29 cm card. Good condition. Stains.
