"Poland" - Moshe Vorobeichik

Opening: $300
Unsold
Poland, by Moshe Vorobeichik-Raviv. Tel Aviv, [1946].
Portfolio containing 10 photograph prints of Jewish figures in Poland.
"The photos compiled here were taken while travelling through Poland during the pre-war years. I meant only to "catch" here and there the typical and interesting, from an illustrative-photographic angle only, and these photos do not represent the entirety of Polish Jewry".
Originally Vorobeichik planned to publish an additional series of photos but the project was not feasible since "there was a shortage of paper and bad printing conditions". The portfolio includes the original cover leaf (the title "Poland" printed in red, on the background of a "Yizkor" prayer commemorating the Namyriv 1648 victims) and a leaf with a poem by Avraham Broides. [1] leaf (cover); [2] leaves; [10] plates; [1] leaf, 27 cm. In a cardboard portfolio. Good condition. Stains and minor tears. Damages to cardboard portfolio.
