Zvi Livni (Malbenchik) – Original Children's Book Illustrations

Opening: $1,000
Unsold
10 original illustrations (ink and watercolor on paper) by the Artist Zvi Livni (Malbenchik) for a children's book titled "Mered Ha'Hayot" (The Animals' Revolt). [Ca. 1940s].
Ten illustrations (18X25.5 cm.) for a children's book about animals from Palestine (a sheep from Kfar Giladi, a cock and hen from Ein Harod, a hare from Hadera and a goose from Degania) sent to an exhibition of domestic animals organized by the Emperor of China, the King of Kush and the Governor of India. Apparently the book was never published. Enclosed are handwritten leaves with the title "The Animals' Revolt (outline for a story)".
The illustrations are mounted on paper sheets (some are detached) and bound in a simple cardboard binding, 25X32 cm. Good condition. Tears to margins of leaves on which the illustrations are mounted. Stains.
