"Conference of the Zionists, Basel 1897" (Hebrew). [USA, early 20th century].
Portraits of 162 participants in the first Zionist Congress - a picture in a unique format: on the reverse, alongside a New Year Greeting in Hebrew, English and Russian, appear dozens of photos of rabbis, poets and leading Jewish figures, photos of Palestine and of Jewish life. Some of the photos can be folded and conceal other photos. The entire sheet was designed to be folded into a notebook-like pamphlet.
Size of Congress photo when open: 52.5X50 cm. Folded: 9.5X13.5 cm. Fair condition. Tears to folding lines, creases and some stains. Pen inscription beneath the portraits of the congress delegates.
