Beit Bialik Cornerstone Setting – Tel Aviv, 1924
Group photograph, cornerstone setting for the house of the poet Haim Nachman Bialik. [Tel Aviv, ca.1924].
The poet Haim Nachman Bialik is seen in the center (next to his wife?), next to him stands Achad Ha'am. A little girl is seen in the center holding an illustration of the house, on the side – two people hold the architectural plan. The house, in the eclectic style, was planned by the architect Joseph Minor on a plot funded by Bialik with revenues from the sales of the elaborate edition of his writings. The house was inaugurated in 1925. 14X8.5 cm. Good condition. Slight stains. Large stain on back side. Divided on back side to be used as postcard.
