Teekent Het Joodsche Volks-Petitionement [Dutch: Sign the petition for the Jewish People], poster designed by Albert Hahn Jr. (signed in print: Poussin). [Holland, ca. 1918].
A fine illustrated poster, portraying a Jewish woman looking towards Eretz Israel. The poster was created, most probably, after World War I and towards the Paris Peace convention during which, among other topics, the future of Eretz Israel (post Ottoman period) was to be discussed. The poster calls to sign a petition supporting the main demands of Jewish organizations at the time: ensuring national rights to the Jewish minority in different countries and establishing a national home for the Jewish people in Eretz Israel.
50X66 cm. Good condition. Stains and creases. Restorations at margins. Some tears fastened with adhesive tape (on reverse of poster). Upper left corner missing and restored.
