Two promotional leaflets for the first JNF stamps bearing portraits of Theodor Herzl and Max Nordau. Germany, [1909]. German.
1. "Die neue Nationalfondsmarke, Photogravur…". Promotional leaflet for a JNF stamp issued on the anniversary of Herzl's death. The design, used in JNF stamps and other items for decades, is by Hans Dieters. It shows Herzl leaning over a balcony (after a photograph taken by E.M. Lilien), looking toward the Tower of David, as a group of Jewish pioneers march in the valley between him and the walls of the Old City; inscriptions above and below the image (Hebrew): "Jewish National Fund", "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning". As noted at the bottom, the image on the leaflet was printed in the same method and from the same original as the stamps.
28.5X21 cm. Good condition.
2. "Nordaumarke des Judischen Nationalfonds, Photogravur…". Promotional leaflet for a JNF stamp with a portrait of Max Nordau by Salomon Roukhomovsky. Inscriptions: "Jewish National Fund" (Hebrew) / "Max Nordau".
28.5X21 cm. Good condition. Minor stains. Minute tears to edges.
