"Hamelech David BaMe'arah," legend composed by H. N. Bialik, illustrated by J. (Jacob) Apter. Frankfurt am Main: "Omanut", 1923.
"The atmosphere in the book 'Hamelech David BaMe'arah' is romantic and expressive, mysterious and gloomy. Ferdinand Hodler (1853-1918) and Ephraim Lilien's influence is well noted in this book. Most figures seem like silhouettes on light background and the shapes are drawon in sharp lines in spite of the decorative elements. The two boys entering the cave are dressed nearly as women and definitely do not remind us of Jewish scholars while the King is tall with a well groomed beard. There is, no doubt, an affinity to Art Nouveau with obvious expressionist elements." (From: Ayala Gordon, Jewish illustrations – the Jewish illustrated book for children, Tel-Aviv, 2005, p.78). [2], 19, [3] pp, 18X24.5 cm. Good condition. Minor stains to cover, minor damages to spine.
