Sixteen postcards with photographs and paintings portraying Yemenite Jews in Yemen and in Palestine. Berlin: Orient-Verlag Press for the "Hilfskomitee für die yemenitischen Juden" [Aid Committee for Yemenite Jewry], [ca. 1920s]. A set of 16 postcards printed for the Aid Committee for Yemenite Jewry – an organization founded in Berlin on the eve of World War I, and then subsequently resuming its activities following the war, with the aim of assisting Yemenite Jews to settle in Palestine. Twelve postcards show photographs of Yemenite Jews and their places of residence (with emphasis on the city of Sana'a) taken by the German Jewish Orientalist and photographer Hermann Burchardt, who traveled throughout the Orient, visiting Yemen three times between 1901 and 1909. He was murdered on his last visit to the country. The rest of the postcards feature photographs of Yemenite Jews in Palestine, and a portrait drawing of a Yemenite Jew by Bezalel School artist Jacob Stark. Printed on the back of the postcards is a short text (in German) describing the condition of the persecuted Jews of Yemen and appealing to German Jews to donate funds to aid them. Enclosed: the original envelope in which the postcards were sold. Postcards: 9X14.5 cm. Good condition. Envelope: 10.5X16 cm. Fair condition. Tears and stains.
