Four Papercuts – From the Maximillian Goldstein Collection – Poland, Early 20th Century
Four papercuts from the Maximillian Goldstein collection, Lviv. [Poland, ca. early 20th century].
One papercut portrays a dove, inscribed "Who spreads a canopy of peace". The other three papercuts display symmetric designs inscribed (in pencil and colored crayon) with verses and sayings from Jewish sources. The papercuts are mounted on purple paper, mounted in turn on heavy paper. All four bear stamps on verso attesting to their provenance from the Maximillian Goldstein collection: "Maxymilian Goldstein, Lwów, nl. Nowy Świat 15.". The first papercut bears Goldstein's Hebrew stamp on the front.
Maximillian Goldstein (1880-1942), banker and collector of Jewish art, born in Lviv. Goldstein focused on numismatics and Jewish folk art. He built his Judaica collection for over thirty years, placing emphasis on Jewish artifacts from Galicia.
