B'karov Etzlechem - wedding invitations from Eretz Israel from the end of the 19th century to the present day
B'karov Etzlechem (Coming soon to you) - wedding invitations from Eretz Israel from the end of the 19th century to the present day by Tehiya Sapir, Israel Museum 2006.
"Wedding invitations, although by their very nature they a transient product, thrown in the trash for the wedding day, are also a document of lasting historical and cultural value ... Luckily we found people who stood by the value of the invitations and were able to keep them and collect ... We are therefore happy and honored To present the pioneering research on a topic that has not been discussed so far ... " (from the words of James S. Snyder, Director General of the Israel Museum, in the introduction to the book).
Along with important informative information about the design and historical significance of hundreds of wedding invitations sent from all Communities of the Land of Israel since the first invitations known to us today in the nineteenth century, there are dozens of photographs of the invitations faithfully reflecting the design and manner of the Jewish, Hebrew, and Israeli wedding invitation.
160 pages, 26 cm. Very good condition.
