Poster for the film "Land of Promise". No printer or designer details, undated. [Palestine, 1935]. [Designer: Otte Wallish].
Fine color illustration of a pioneer sowing the ground, above him a music staff with notes. The poster was designed by Otte Wallish for the film "Land of Promise", produced in 1935 by Keren HaYesod for distribution abroad as propaganda intended to raise funds for Jewish settlements in Palestine.
There is another version of this poster, twice its size, to which Wallish added a bottom part with the inscription: "Keren HaYesod Sows - the Hebrew People Reap" [in Hebrew].
