On the front board: a coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire; beneath it, the inscription "Des H. Remi Keisertums Wappen" and the year 1583, and above it, the letters I.H.O.

Color portraits of eighteen leading Jewish rabbis throughout the generations, including the Rambam, Rashi, the Rif, R. Yosef Karo, R. Moshe Isserles, the Gaon of Vilna, the Chatam Sofer, and others. The portraits are numbered, and the names of the rabbis depicted are listed in the framed legends printed on each side of the poster. The portraits were painted by the Viennese artist Meir Kunstadt, and many of them, although intended as artist's renditions, became the accepted portraits of these rabbis, now widely taken for their actual likenesses.
The poster was printed for the Talmud Thora school in Vienna, and bears a printed dedication at the bottom, with a space for the name of the recipient of the poster, to be filled-in by hand: "To Mr ---, presented from the Board of the Talmud Thora Public School, Vienna".
The school, which was affiliated with the Orthodox community in Vienna, was founded in the 19th century, and was shut down only with the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany.
