Rare: "Mareh Eretz Yisrael V'HaMoshavot" - Many Pictures from the Land of Israel and the Young Colonies by Isaiah Raffalovich. 1899


Rare and important book - Mareh Eretz Yisrael V'HaMoshavot - [58] pictures and drawings from life in the Land of Israel and the young colonies. On the parallel page of every picture is a short text about the photographs' contents in Hebrew and in German.

Drawn and written by Isaiah Raffalovich and Moshe Eliyahu Sachs after a sightseeing trip they took to the Land of Israel in 1898 with Eliyahu Meyers, a photographer for the famous "American Colony" company. Printed in 1899.


This photo album is one of the most important Eretz-Yisraeli photo albums, as it faithfully reflects the renewed Zionist settlement, from an angle that was not historically familiar at that point, hence its importance. Rare, sought-after book.


[4] leaves, [58] plates with a photograph on one side and text on the other. [2] plates (Zichron Ya'akov and Rosh Pinah) were printed in a double size, and folded (in the original) into the book.

17.5x25 cm. (Printed across the width of the sheets.)

Fine-very fine condition. Aging stains. Old, light creases in several leaves. On the protective leaves (front and back) are lacks artistically completed with paper. Original binding with imprints. Stains and aging marks in the binding.
