[WITH] A collection of 14 original b/w photographs from the same Vilna Ghetto Project by Moï Ver, originally taken circa 1928. 12 of the photographs are smaller sized, measuring on average, approximately 4 1/2 x 3", with some variation in the cut dimensions. There are also 2 larger images, one measuring 5 1/4 x 7 1/2" showing the roof of the Great Synagogue of Vilna and the largest showing the gate of the synagogue's courtyard, measuring 8 1/4x 11 1/2". Surprisingly none of these evocative and striking images of the Vilna Ghetto and its inhabitants were used ultimately used in the book, but many are quite similar to the images which did get used. These photographs are likely later prints made from the original negatives, and all contain the ink stamp of the acclaimed phtographer's studio in Tel Aviv, on the verso. The versos of the two larger images also include notes in pen in German, with one dated to 1928.
