Hardcover. Limited edition. 1/1000. Quarto. 158, [2]pp. Original cloth with black and orange-stamped illustration on front cover, and orange lettering on spine. Book housed in its original paper covered slipcase. Exquisite illustrated edition of Israel Zangwill's satire "The King of Schnorrers" which tells the story of Manasseh da Costa, a schnorrer (beggar) who lives on the charitable contributions of the Jews of late 18th-century London. But Manasseh is far from being a humble panhandler for, as every schnorrer knows, supporting the poor is a commandment from God (a mitzvah) not just a favor. And as the descendant of Portuguese Jews who had lived in England for many generations, Manasseh is the social superior of those newly arrived from Eastern Europe (called 'Tedesco'), even his wealthy patron Joseph Grobstock. As this hilarious satire concludes the ever-audacious Manasseh strikes a blow for tolerancewhile helping himself along the way.

First edition. Illustrated with six illustrations in the text and 12 plates of reproductions. First edition. In publisher's printed wrappers. 47 p. Catalogue of the posthumous Budapest exhibition of Ephraim Moses Lilien, one of the principal artists associated with the early Zionist movement, with texts by Israel Zangwill and József Patai. Published for the memorial exhibition of the German-Jewish graphic artist Ephraim Moses Lilien (1874-1925) held at the Nemzeti Szalon in Budapest in February 1926. The catalogue lists 274 exhibited works and is illustrated with six images in the text and 12 plates of reproductions. It includes texts by the Anglo-Jewish writer and Zionist Israel Zangwill and the Hungarian-Jewish poet, editor, and scholar József Patai, as well as advertisements for publications and prints relating to Lilien. Lilien was a significant figure in the development of a specifically Jewish and Zionist visual culture around the turn of the twentieth century. Working primarily in drawing, engraving, and book illustration, he combined the linear vocabulary of Jugendstil with biblical and Jewish subjects and became closely associated with the cultural movement surrounding the early Zionist congresses. The Budapest exhibition, organized shortly after his death, presented a substantial survey of his graphic work to a Hungarian audience. . Wrappers chipped at edges. Paper tanned.
