Bezalel Exhibition, Palestine Arts & Crafts 1926. New-York, 1926. English and Yiddish.
Exhibition catalogue of "Bezalel" artifacts. The exhibition was held in New-York when Boris Schatz resided there. Schatz arrived in New-York on January 1926 in order to arrange this exhibition and raise money for "Bezalel" which, at the time, went through a financial crisis. After a year and a half, in May 1927, Schatz returned to Eretz Israel with very limited financial means. At the same year the "Bezalel" school was closed down. The school re-opened in 1928 but in 1929 was closed again and this time for good. Many photographs of "Bezalel" artifacts appear in the catalogue. [2], 54, [12] pp, 29 cm. Good condition.
