The artist, Avraham Ben Yaakov (a convert to Judaism), illustrated the Hagadah with copper engravings. This printing technique achieved a much more refined and detailed look, and it quickly became a model for many other Hagadahs, and to a large extent it continues to influence illustrations of Hagadahs up until today. Of particular interest is that the map printed on a foldout page at the end of the book. The map shows the route of the Exodus from Egypt, through the desert, to the ultimate settlement in the Promised Land. Vinograd Amsterdam 2113. Yaari 199. Yudlov 300. Proops press.
