Three large prints after paintings by Ludwig Blum. [Netherlands, 20th century].
1. Color print on hard cardboard sheet. "Jerusalem - View from the Mount of Olives" (Jeruzalem - Gezien Van Den Olijfberg). 70X99.5 cm. Fair condition. Stains, peeling, hanging holes and pasting marks.
2. Color print on hard cardboard sheet. "Jerusalem - The Temple Square" (Jeruzalem - Het Tempelplein). 74.5X104 cm. Fair condition. Stains, peeling and hanging marks. Wide dampstain to bottom of print.
3. Color print on thick brown paper. "Street in Jerusalem" (Straat in Jeruzalem). Stretched between two wooden poles. Hanging wire on top pole. 76.5X95.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains, creases. Includes cloth bag.
These plates, from the series "Palestine in Words and Pictures", were printed in the Netherlands for hanging in schools. The painter Ludwig Blum, born in Lisen, Czechoslovakia in 1891, immigrated to Palestine in 1923 and settled in Jerusalem. He held many exhibitions in Palestine, Europe and the U.S., and was one of the leaders of the initiative to found the Artists' House in Jerusalem, in a building situated near the King David Hotel that had been in use as a British officers' club. In 1968 Blum received the "Yakir Yerushalayim" (Worthy Citizen of Jerusalem) award for his artistic contribution to the city. Blum died in Jerusalem in 1974.
