A propos de cet article

1/500. Quarto. 64pp [2]. Rebound in red buckram with gilt lettering on the spine. Elaborate gilt-stamped illustrated title page and frontispiece. Decorative initials. One of a limited edition of 500 copies printed "for the United States", hand-numbered on the colophon at the back of the book, of which this is No. 314. Artist and political activist Arthur Szyk interpreted the character in the biblical "Book of Esther," his first illustrated book, as one who was a witness to history and fighter for justice. The story recounts the efforts of Esther and her uncle Mordechai to save the Jews of ancient Persia from annihilation. During times of crisis, Jews have drawn strength from this text, which dramatizes the persecution of the Jews, extols their heroic resistance, and proclaims their eventual triumph over their enemies. This work also known in French as "Le Livre d'Esther", was first published in 1925 in Paris, during Szyk's second stay there (1921-1937), in both a bilingual French-Hebrew edition and this Hebrew only edition. Magnificently illustrated with 20 tissue-guarded illuminations (19 full-page plates, 1 chapter heading), Szyk's illustrations display his talent for decorative detail as well as his fascination with the "orientalist" trend in Jewish art. Szyk incorporated motifs drawn from archaeological discoveries in the Near East, such as winged bulls of Assyria and cuneiform writing. Printed on heavy card-stock paper. Text in Hebrew only. Binding with very minor rubbing. Illustrated book plate of Daniel M. Friedenberg, pasted on the interior front cover. Pages clean and vibrant throughout. Book block tight. Binding in very good+, inteiror in near fine condition overall. Hebrew title: ????? ???? Alternate transliteration: Megilat Ester.…
