"Herzl passed away!" - The issue of the newspaper "Hatzpira" announcing the death of Theodore Herzl - a special telegram
The issue of the Zefira newspaper from July 5, 1904 - announcing the death of Benjamin Ze'ev Herzl. A large title in a black mournful frame: "Herzl passed away!". "Special siren telegram" - two days after his death on June 3, before the burial arrangements were known.
The newspaper announces that: "Vienna at 12:00 noon, Dr. Hirtzel died, "by the day of the burial we will inform", and a long obituary appears: "We were orphans! The great heart, the heart of the lion and the eagle... stopped beating... not only all of us Zionists, But all of us, the members of the Hebrew nation, were hit. This is a calamity that will not be resolved... Never was a wise and mighty man like him... the dead is laid before us - and we will weep, oh we will weep, we will weep...". On the second page is a large image of Herzl as he was photographed on the balcony of his room at the "Three Kings" hotel in Basel, in the days when the First Zionist Congress was held.
[4] pages. A complete sheet. 49 cm. Stains. Fold mark. Good condition.
