Extensive autograph speech notes by Max Nordau. London, August 11, 1900. German.
On August 11, 1900, two days before the opening of the fourth Zionist Congress, the coordinators, wanting to introduce Zionist leaders to the Zionists of England, organized a mass meeting at the Great Assembly Hall in London. Over 8000 people crowded in the small hall in order to hear Theodor Herzl, Israel Zangwill, Frances Montefiore, Joseph Kaun and Max Nordau.
This lot consists of Max Nordau's speech notes, in dense handwriting on small leaves, with a typewritten title page. In this speech, Nordau addresses at length the question of 'What is Zionism?', refuting the claims of the Movement's opponents, rejecting the various solutions to "The Jewish Question" and discussing antisemitism, Jewish financers and other issues.
Zionist philosopher Max Nordau (1849-1923), who coined the term "Muskeljudentum" ("Muscular Judaism"), used to write down his speeches and read them to his listeners from the draft. There are several differences between the present manuscript and the speech Nordau eventually delivered, including an opening paragraph crossed out with a diagonal line, which was entirely omitted (see the final version of the speech in the book: Max Nordau's Zionistische Schriften, Cologne and Leipzig: Jüdischer Verlag, 1909, pp. 234-248).
14 handwritten pages (written on loose sheets) + [1] typewritten title page, approx. 21 cm. Good condition. Minor blemishes. Strips of paper mounted to left edge of leaves. Long tears to last leaf, reinforced with tape (on verso).

A poster advocating the purchase of Zionist Shekel. [Germany, ca. 1920s-1930s]. German.
The poster reads (German) "Anyone who strives to establish a home for the Jewish people in Palestine secured under public law purchases the Shekel!" ("establish a home for the Jewish people in Palestine secured under public law" was the goal of Zionism as stated in the Basel Program). The Hebrew inscription "Shekel" appears on top.
The Berlin address of the Berlin Zionist Association (Berliner Zionistische Vereinigung) for purchasing the Shekel is printed at lower center.
The Zionist Shekel was part of a fundraising program introduced by the World Zionist Organization towards the elections for the second Zionist congress in 1898. The donation certificates were known as "shekel"; donation of a certain amount counted as annual "membership dues", and buying a Zionist Shekel gave one the right to vote and be elected for the congress. The number of Shekels sold in each country determined the number of delegates it was entitled to send to the congress.
Approx. 24X64 cm. Fair condition. Stains and blemishes. Closed and open tears, restored with paper and paint. Linen-backed for display and preservation.

A large and comprehensive collection of telegrams used for raising funds for the Jewish National Fund alongside sketches and proofs of Palestinian telegrams and additional paper items issued by the JNF. Europe, Mandatory Palestine and Israel, the USA and elsewhere, ca. 1903 to 1989; most items are from the first half of the 20th century.
Approx. 95 telegrams (many of them were designed by Emil Ranzenhofer and Joseph Budko) and several stationery papers, envelopes and sketches.
In ca. 1903, in an effort to raise funds and introduce the Zionist idea to every Jewish household, and alongside the use of boxes, stamps and other means, the Jewish National Fund started selling greeting telegrams. Alongside the "official" telegrams, telegrams for the JNF were printed and sold by other Zionist organizations, which transferred some of their revenues to the JNF. The price was noted on some of the telegrams, in local currency, and often JNF stamps were affixed to them, increasing the sum of the donation. After the establishment of the State of Israel, the word "Igeret" (letter) replaced the word "telegram" on the Hebrew telegrams; at the same time, the use of telegrams began to decline.
The telegrams in this collection belong to various categories and various periods in the history of the JNF and their artistic design varies in accordance with the spirit of the times.
The collection includes: · JNF telegrams from the early days of the JNF in Germany, Poland and Russia, including two telegrams bearing the illustration that appeared on the postcards of the second Zionist Congress that took place in 1898 (Ladani A1 and A2. Both with affixed "Zion" stamps. On one of them appears a handwritten greeting, in honor of the delegates of the sixth Zionist Congress and Theodor Herzl, by the members of "Agudat Zion" of Wilki). · Telegrams designed by Emil Ranzenhofer, printed to be used in various countries – USA, Germany, Poland, England, France, Austro-Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and more. The earliest of these was sent in 1911 and the latest in 1937. · Telegrams designed by Joseph Budko, 1919 to 1939. · Various types of JNF telegrams printed in Poland. · Telegrams printed in Palestine since 1930, including a telegram that was used in Romania as well. · Regular postal telegrams to which JNF stamps were affixed. · Late telegrams (1950s to 1980s) which were printed by the JNF branches in Israel, Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, and elsewhere. · And more.
Some of the telegrams in the collection, including early telegrams, do not appear in the Ladani catalog (1995); a few are variants of telegrams listed in the catalog and others are unknown.
Several telegrams bear paper seals which were also printed by the Jewish National Fund, and others bear inked stamps of JNF branches and of various Zionist organizations; many of them bear stamps, JNF stamps and handwritten or typewritten greetings.
In addition to the telegrams, the collection also contains two early stationery papers of the Russian branch of the JNF calling the public to donate to the redemption of the land (printed in 1907; their design is attributed to E.M. Lilien; Ladani, illustration 18); sketches and proofs of Palestinian telegrams, some presumably never printed; envelopes for mailing JNF telegrams, most of them Palestinian; and more.
A total of approx. 105 items. Size and condition vary. Good to good-fair overall condition. Small holes, tears and several open tears. Several filing holes. Some of the tears are restored or reinforced with tape. Several tears reinforced with paper. Stains. Creases.
Literature: Greeting Telegrams of the Jewish National Fund, by Prof. Shaul Ladani (1995).

Nine booklets with scientific articles by Chaim Weizmann. Printouts from The Proceedings of the Chemical Society. Bungay (Suffolk, East Anglia): R. Clay and sons, 1910-1914. English.
In 1915, in the midst of World War I, Weizmann managed to produce acetone through fermentation of starch. At the time, acetone was used to manufacture cordite, a smokeless propellant used by the British army, which was in short supply since the beginning of the war. Weizmann's discovery enabled Britain and the Allies to independently produce propellants, thus influencing the course of the war and leading to the victory of the Allies. British Prime Minister Lloyd George later recalled that "this was the fount and origin of the famous declaration about the National Home for Jews in Palestine… the beginning of an association, the outcome of which, after long examination, was the famous Balfour Declaration".
These nine booklets were published while Weizmann was developing his revolutionary method. At the time, Weizmann was studying the fermentation of starch at the Manchester University; co-authored by his colleagues, Arthur Hopwood, Harold Davis, Henry Stephen and others.
See: Science in the Service of Politics: The Case of Chaim Weizmann during the First World War, by Jehuda Reinharz. The English Historical Review, vol. 100, no. 396 (Jul., 1985), pp. 572-603.
Varying number of pages, approx. 21 cm. Good-fair condition. Brittle paper. Closed and open tears to covers (some reinforced with tape). Open tear to upper corner of all leaves in one booklet. Inked stamp to one cover.
