Four Large Photographs – Zionist Conventions in Russia, Early 20th Century – Photograph of Zionist Delegates in Vologda, with Jewish Children Deported from Lithuania
Four photographs from Zionist conventions in Russia. Moscow and Vologda: first decades of the 20th century:
• Crowd flying a Zionist flag, during a convention in the city of Vologda (1903/4). • Representatives of Jewish communities in a convention in Moscow (among the figures seen in the photograph: Leib Yaffe, Abraham Podlishevski, Zvi Belkovsky; 1918). • Eight members of the Zionist committee of Vologda, photographed alongside Jewish children deported from Lithuania (1918/1919). • Photograph from the annual convention of Russian Zionists in Moscow, 1920 – this convention was the last one to take place before the Zionist movement was banned in Communist Russia; it was dispersed, and its participants arrested.
The photographs are mounted on card; captioned by hand on verso. Photographer's stamp on one mount.
The photographs presumably belonged to the Zionist activist, Nachum Lipschitz, a member of the Assembly of Representatives, and a delegate to the Zionist Congress. Lipschitz appears in one of the photos.
Four photographs. Approx. 28X22 cm to 39X29 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Scratches and abrasions (mostly minor). Blemishes, tears and losses to card mounts.
