Collection of Drawings – Binah Gvirtz (1913-2008)
36 drawings and sketches – watercolor, ink and pencil on paper. 20 works signed by illustrator Binah Gvirtz. The works deal with children's urban and rural life and various Jewish festivals and holidays. Presumably, some were made for children's calendars published by Lion the Printer ("Calendar for the Children of Israel"). To some, short texts were added (handwritten leaves, in Hebrew and English).
The children's book illustrator Binah Gvirtz-Stekelis (1913-2008) was born in Poland and raised in Germany; immigrated to Palestine in 1935. She illustrated over 300 children's books, including "Atzu Ratzu Gamadim" by Miriam Yalan-Stekelis and "Al HaArnevet" by Chaim Nachman Bialik.
