Photograph of Shaul Tchernichovsky, by photographer Falu Zivlin. [Jerusalem, 1930s].
Portrait photograph of Shaul Tchernichovsky, with a dedication to the photographer: "With thanks, to Mr. F. Zivlin, the nice, diligent person and photographer, Shaul Tchernichovsky". The photograph is mounted on a cardboard plate with photographer's signature (in pen) on the margins: "Photographer F. Zivlin".
Photographer Falu Zivlin (1902-1982) was born in Russia and immigrated to Palestine in 1914. He settled with his family in Tel-Aviv and studied photography. Between 1929 and 1953 he worked in Jerusalem, in a shop on King George Street. Zivlin used natural light for his portrait photographs, unlike other photographers in Palestine at the time. Over the years he photographed for various institutes and organizations such as JNF and the "Haganah". During the Independence War his family members burnt many of his photographs for use as burning material to heat water; when he closed his studio, in 1953, thousands of his photographs and negatives were discarded.
Photograph 8.5X13 cm, attached to cardboard 19X26.5 cm. Good condition. Wear. Stains to cardboard.
Provenance: Estate of Falu Zivlin.

Three letters sent by Moshe Sharett to David Ben-Gurion:

In this letter Sharett informs Ben-Gurion that he resigns from his position as Foreign Minister; resignation is planned for June 10; he asks Ben-Gurion to announce it in the Knesset, and notes that he cannot hide from Rosen (Pinchas Rosen, Minister of Justice) the reasons that led to his resignation (being serious disagreements – political and personal – between Sharett and Ben-Gurion). [1] leaf, 28 cm. Fair condition. Thin paper. Creases and tears at margins.
2. Draft of a long letter, handwritten by Sharett, addressed to the "Prime Minister" and signed by Sharett in initials. October 30, 1960.
In this letter Sharett responds to what Ben-Gurion wrote to him following an announcement that Sharett published in the newspaper, concerning the "Esek HaBish" ("Lavon Affair") and its investigation. Sharett writes in great length about his concerns regarding another investigation, and ends the letter with the words: "For the world it is unimportant who gave the order. What is important is that the deed was done. It is not important that a certain Minister of Defense was able to go in an unknown direction… what is important is that the top ranks of Israel's defense forces could be a 'breeding ground' for such horrible conspiracies".
[4] leaves + a leaf with a number of lines as an addition to page no. 2, 22 cm. Good condition. Some stains and creases.

Sharett writes in great length about his concerns regarding another investigation, and ends the letter with the words: "For the world it is unimportant who gave the order. What is important is that the deed was done. It is not important that a certain Minister of Defense was able to go in an unknown direction… what is important is that the top ranks of Israel's defense forces could be a 'breeding ground' for such horrible conspiracies".
