"Yom Kippur Service, 5631, At a Camp Near Metz" [Hebrew]. [Germany, ca. 1880]. German and Hebrew. Cotton cloth; print.
A print in bright black and red colors, intended for hanging. Depicted in the center of the print is a large group of soldiers praying around a platform during the French-Russian War (1870-1871). Printed at the top is the verse, "Have we not all one father? Has not one G-d created us?" (Malachi 2:10). The four corners are printed with a rhyming German poem whose subject, among other things, is the involvement of Jews in the war, having enlisted in the army out of concern for their German brethren rather than from coercion or necessity.
Fine copy.
Approx. 68X68 cm. Good condition. Unraveling to top and bottom margins. Folding marks. Some stains.
