Including buyer's premium
Postcard issued by Fonds Tel-Hai, with a letter in Ze’ev Jabotinsky’s handwriting. November 28, 1938. French.
On the postcard, Jabotinsky writes: "Did you receive my letter from Paris? I await news from you. Regards to Mrs. K". Signed: "V. J." The postcard is addressed to Edgar Kanner, the Revisionist Movement’s representative in Bucharest, and the "news" that Jabotinsky refers to are evidently the talks that he held with Romanian prime minister Armand Călinescu, in an effort to allow Jewish immigration to Palestine via Romania.
On the front of the postcard is a photograph of sailors training on the deck of a ship (signed in print "Foto Fabiani, Civitavecchia"). On the back is written: "Betar Naval Academy in Civitavecchia (Italy), trainee maneuvers on the vessel Sarah."
Approx. 14X 9 cm. Good condition. Minor stains.
Provenance: Rimon Family Collection.
