Eight original linocuts by Yehudah Wallersteiner for a Passover Haggadah. Signed in pencil in Hebrew and Latin letters and marked A.P.
The linocuts depict images all taken from the Passover Haggadah. Apparently, no Passover Haggadah with these illustrations was ever printed. Held in cardboard portfolio.
Yehudah Wallersteiner (1915-2004) - born in Ansbach, immigrated to Palestine with his family in 1934. The entire family settled in the house they built in Bnei Brak. The family members owned the Kishut Company for the production of metalwork objects in the Bezalel style. Wallersteiner studied woodcutting with Jacob Steinhardt and was later one of the founders of the Ein Hod artists’ village.
