Mizrach plaque, with order of Chanukah candle lighting, Megillat Antiochus and illustrations of holy sites. Jerusalem: HaLevanon newspaper press, 1863.
Poster printed in large format. At the center of the poster is an illustration of the Temple menorah and jug of oil, with decorated columns headed by olive saplings. Next to the menorah appears the caption "Chanukah miracle". At the top of the poster, under the word Mizrach, appear blessings for Chanukah candle lighting, with Megillat Antiochus appearing on both sides of the poster (based on "an ancient text found in an old manuscript in the British Library…"). In addition, there are four illustrations of the site of the Temple, the Cave of Machpelah, the tomb of Rachel and the grave of the prophet Zechariah son of Jehoiada. At the bottom of the poster appear the place and year of printing and names of the printers, as well as the name of the publisher, R. "Simchah son of R. A. of Kollel Chabad, from Jerusalem".
