'Fifth Congress of Zionists in Basel' - Official Postcard from the Fifth Congress held in Basel 1901
A postcard issued on the occasion of the 5th Congress in Basel in 1901 with an illustration in the "Jugendstil" style by Ephraim Moshe Lillan.
A beautiful angel with a Star of David on his chest, Shielded with wings on a tired adult, handcuffed in exile, and leaning on the wand. The angel points toward a grove representing Zion and faces the rising sun [a common motif in the Zionist images of salvation], and a verse from the prayer: "And our eyes will see you return to Zion with mercy." [Signed in lower right: Lilien].
Rimmer No. 6. Undivided Back Postcard. Sent from Basel in 1901.
Good condition except for a tiny filing hole, a slight wrinkle, and some stains.
