1850 Jewish Ex-Libris. Rare, valuable, important and extensive collection of Jewish Ex-Libris. The collection includes many Ex-Libris bookplates designed by the artists Hermann Struck Joseph Budko Ephraim Moshe Lilien Arthur Szyk, Zeev Raban Miron Sima and many other artists – some are original etchings and prints, signed by the artist in pencil; amongst them an original Ex-Libris, hand-painted by the artist Zeev Raban; an Ex-Libris hand-painted for Heinrich Loewe as well as one hand-painted by the poet Leah Goldberg. The collection includes many bookplates that were in use by institutions and universities alongside private ones. Attached to the collection are several unique Ex-Libris – etchings and large prints, one of them being a signed woodcut by Jacob Pins featuring an open book; a signed and numbered etching of a Jewish Ex-Libris exhibition in Jerusalem, 1982, and more. The collection is arranged in three albums, and reached us from a private collector who gathered them one by one for many years.
