Passover Haggadah. Illustrated Trieste Edition, 1864.
Presented here is complete copy of the Haggadah printed in Trieste, Italy in 1864.
This edition of the Haggadah is of the most prominent editions printed in the 19th century, as it was the first edition to be printed completely with lithographic printing technology.
Refer to: B. Ruth, "HaHaggadah HaMetzuyeret She'B'Defus" - Areshet III, 1961, pp. 27-28. There it says that there is only one haggadah from the 19th century that can be viewed as ambitious and fit to create a new tradition, which is the haggadah that appeared in Trieste in 1864.
Besides from being printed in a beautiful font, it includes 58 beautifully copper engraved illustrations by C. Kirchmayr. Under each is a description of the illustrations.
At the end of the Haggadah there are musical notes for the "songs of the Seder night as transmitted through the generations by our ancestors".
Size: 31.5 cm
Condition: Overall good condition, original binding, damage to binding back cover, tears in margins unaffecting text, some stains.
