The folder opens with a text about the development of the artists' village during the first five years of its existence:"…while the State of Israel celebrates its 10th anniversary we celebrate our 5th anniversary. This folder is a joint expression, like a bunch of flowers presented to art lovers, where each leaf is an individual work while all of the leaves together sing in the shades of black and white the song of Ein Hod." Attached is a letter of greetings signed by Marcel Janco: "accept this humble gift of our work in the lithography workshop as a New Year greeting". [1], 16 leaves, 50 cm. Good condition. Staining. In the original cardboard folder, torn.
