Mizrach. Yeshivat Eitz Chaim and the Bikur Cholim Hospital. Jerusalem, End of the 1930s
Large, colored poster, “Mizrach” from the Eitz Chaim and Bikur Cholim institutions. Monson press, end of the 1930s. Lithographic print. Vivid colors. 50×65 cm. Large, advertisement poster based on an earlier poster from the beginning of the century. In this newer version, the pictures of the holy cities were switched with pictures symbolizing the transition to the new city of Jerusalem: Eitz Chaim institutions, Bikur Cholim and the Knesset Yisrael neighborhood. The printing press also moved outside of the Old City walls. Some pictures from the original poster remain: pictures of the tombs of the dynasty of David, Rachel’s Tomb and the Temple Mount at center. This poster was apparently distributed as a gift to donors to the joint fund for the hospital and yeshiva which was operated by a fundraiser in America. Small tears in a number of folds. Fine condition.
