"Conference of the Zionists, Basel 1897". [Printed early 20th century].
The famous photograph with portraits of the 162 participants of the first Zionist Congress, in a unique format: on the reverse, alongside the New Year Greetings in Hebrew, English and Russian, appear tens of photographs of rabbis, poets and leading Jewish figures, photographs of Eretz Israel and of Jewish life. Some of the photographs can be folded and hide other photographs. The sheet was designed to be folded into a notebook-like pamphlet. Due to much use and to some wear it is impossible to fold it. Size of the unfolded photograph: 52x50 cm. Folded: 27x13 cm. Fair condition. Tears and stains.
