First edition. Bound in later boards, Folio, various pagination, includes illustrations. 38 cm. In Yiddish. All 52 issues of weekly, London-based, anarchist publication Der Arbayter Fraynd from the year 1911 bound together in cloth. "[Arbayter Fraynd's] founders included social democrats (Marxists), socialists, and anarchists, but by the early 1890s anarchists were the dominant force. They established good working relationships with non-Jewish anarchists both indigenous and emigre, including Charles Mowbray, Peter Kropotkin, Errico Malatesta and Louise Michel. In 1898 the Arbayter Fraynd appointed a German political exile and bookbinder, Rudolf Rocker, to edit the paper. Rocker, brought up in a Catholic orphanage in Mainz, arrived in London in 1895. He soon found out about the sweatshop conditions through his lover, Millie Witkop, a young Ukrainian Jewish immigrant. Rocker learned to read and write Yiddish and dedicated the next period of his life to organising among the immigrant Jews. In 1906, Rocker's Arbayter Fraynd group established the Jubilee Street Club which, in addition to nightly gatherings, held adult education classes inspired by the pedagogy of the Spanish libertarian educationalist, Francisco Ferrer, and ran an anarchist Sunday School for children. The newspaper was printed next door. Between 1898 and 1914 it appeared every week. In 1914 Rocker was interned pending deportation as an 'enemy alien', and in 1916 the government shut down the Arbayter Fraynd among several radical newspapers it suppressed in wartime."
