Poland, by Moshe Vorobeichic-Raviv. Tel Aviv, [1946].
Portfolio with ten printed photographs of Jewish figures in Poland. "The photographs gathered in this volume were taken while travelling through Poland in the pre-war years. My only intention was to 'capture', here and there, whatever was characteristic or interesting, in artistic-photographic terms. By no means are these photographs representative of Polish Jewry in all its manifestations".
Originally Vorobeichic planned to publish additional series of photographs, but the project could not be realized "due to a lack of paper and printing conditions".
[3] leaves (title page, introduction and a poem by Avraham Broides), [10] plates, 27 cm. Inserted in cardboard portfolio. On the front of the portfolio is the title "Poland", printed in red, against the background of a Yizkor prayer commemorating the Jewish victims of the Nemirov Massacre (1648). Good condition. Tears to margins of some of the leaves (mostly the first leaves). Dark margins to first leaves. Dedication on title page. Numerous stains and tears to portfolio.
