Two hundred printed receipts of the Sejera farm, with information filled in by hand, official stamps and signatures of the directors of the farm. Sejera, 1903. French.
Official receipts of the Sejera agricultural farm, given for services provided and products supplied to the farm. Many are signed by Eliahu Krause, who served as director of the farm on behalf of the Jewish Colonization Association between 1901 and 1913, and later became the director of the Mikveh Israel Agricultural School. Several receipts are signed by Eliezer Nachum Brun, the director of the farm guestrooms. Several receipts stamped with Ottoman stamps and stamps of the Haifa company "A. Dück & Cie.".
The farm at Sejera was established in 1899, by the Jewish Colonization Association, as a center for agricultural training. Work at the farm began in 1900 and in 1902, the colony of Ilaniya was established on its grounds. David Ben-Gurion lived and worked in Sejera from October 1907 to October 1909. Among the successes of the agricultural enterprise of Sejera in its early years were employing Jewish guards from the "Bar Giora" organization where previously Arab guards were employed (known as "the conquest of guarding"); the establishment of the "HaChoresh" organization in an effort to unite all the workers in the colonies and national farms of the galilee; and the establishment of the first agricultural collective.
[200] receipts, 21X13 cm. bound together in a new binding (with new endpapers). Good condition. Fold lines to several receipts. Minor stains. Several closed and open tears (not affecting text).

Four architectural drawings for one of the Chelouche family's houses, by architect Hillel Robert Chelouche. [1930s/1940s].
Elevations in ink, pencil and watercolors, depicting all four sides of one of the Chelouche family's houses. The name of the project appears on top – "Villa Atelier, Propriete de M. Chelouche". With architect's signature on bottom – "R. Chelouche" (Hillel Robert Chelouche).
The Chelouche family is considered one of the oldest and most important families in the history of the Hebrew Yishuv, one of the founders of the Neveh Tzeddek and Achuzat Bayit neighborhoods and the city of Tel-Aviv. Abraham Chelouche immigrated to Palestine from North Africa in 1838, settling with his family in Jaffa and becoming one of the leaders of the Jewish community in the city. His son Aaron purchased the land on which the Neveh Shalom and Neveh Tzeddek neighborhoods were established and Aaron's son, Yosef Eliyahu Chelouche, built thirty-two of the houses of Achuzat Bayit. The history of the Chelouche family is woven into the history of Tel-Aviv and its sons built their homes in the first streets of the city – some of them amongst the most beautiful and impressive houses in the city.
Architect Hillel Chelouche, Abraham's great grandson, was born in 1904 to Yosef and Farha Simha Chelouche. At the age of 15, he was sent to study architecture in Paris, where he adopted the French name Robert. After returning to Palestine in 1933, he planned most of his brother's and relatives' houses, alongside dozens of other buildings throughout Palestine.
29X45 to 32X54 cm. Good condition. Stains. Minute holes and tears to margins (a 3-cm-long tear to one drawing). A small pencil sketch on verso of one sheet.

Large Damascene work decorative plate featuring the flying camel logo, reading "Levant Fair" in Hebrew, English and Arabic. Tel-Aviv, 1934.
Round plate; central large flying camel, the logo designed by artist and architect Arieh Elhanani in 1932 for the first Levant Fair. The camel faces the sun, while his hind legs touch the emblem of Tel-Aviv. Three oval cartouches surrounding the camel read "Levant Fair" in Hebrew, English and Arabic. The background with dense grapevine pattern, interspersed with bunches of grapes.
The first Levant Fair was preceded by several exhibitions and fairs of locally produced goods held in Tel-Aviv between 1923 and 1929. The 1932 fair, the first to be called the "Levant Fair", was international, with companies from dozens of countries exhibiting goods. It also included amusement rides and various exhibits in a variety of fields, as well as movies, entertainment and more. The fair was held in 1932, 1934 and 1936, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors, many of them tourists. The showcase of the Yishuv's achievements in the fields of commerce, industry and agriculture left a cultural legacy: the permanent buildings built for the 1934 fair, the works of art that were ordered for it and the printed material that accompanied it are all shining examples of the height of Modernist architecture, design and graphics.
This plate is featured on the cover of "The Flying Camel, 85 Years of Exhibitions and Fairs in Tel-Aviv" exhibition catalog (Hebrew), by Mordechai Naor and Batya Karmiel. Tel-Aviv: Israel Trade Fairs and Convention Center and the Eretz Israel Museum, 2010 (enclosed).
Brass inlaid with silver and copper (Damascene work). Diameter: 70.5 cm. Good condition. Bends and minor welding repairs (a large welding repair on verso).
