Albatross, zhurnal for dem nayem dichter un kinstler oysdruk [periodical for new poetry and artistic expression], edited by Uri Zvi Greenberg. Warsaw-Berlin, 1922-1923.
Complete set (four issues in three booklets, no additional issues were printed) of the modern Yiddish periodical "Albatross", known for its impact on Yiddish literary circles and on Jewish modernism.
The first issue contains a "manifest tsu di kegner fun der nayer dichtung" [manifest for the opponents to modern poetry] - a modernist revolutionary composition by Uri Zvi Greenberg which did not go unnoticed by the vigilant eyes of the authorities, who reacted by banning the second issue and confiscating all its copies. Consequently, Greenberg left for Berlin. The third issue, published in Berlin, contained Greenberg's poem "BeMalchut HaTzlav" ("In the Kingdom of the Cross), a visionary poem prophesizing the extinction of European Jewry. A year later, in 1924, Uri Zvi Greenberg immigrated to Palestine, where he continued to write in Hebrew.
1. First issue, Warsaw, 1922. Cover designed by Ze'ev (Wladislaw) Weintraub. With linocuts by Marc Schwartz. Front cover signed by Greenberg, Wolf (Ze'ev) Weintraub, and other artists (dedication to Mark Schwartz?). Markings on back cover.
