"The Ship and the Barge" – Illustrated Children's Book – "Omanut" Publishers, 1922
Ha'Oniyah VeHa'Arbah ["The Ship and the Barge"] – a fairy tale by Richard Gustafsson. Illustrations by Dmitry Mitrohin. Frankfurt am Main – Moscow – Odessa: Omanut, Sifria Gamliel, [ca. 1922]. Hebrew.
The story of an old barge, relating its life story and adventures to a young ship, by the Swedish author Richard Gustafsson (1840-1918). Color illustrations by the Russian painter Dmitry Mitrohin (1883-1973).
This book was published as part of the "Gamliel" series produced by the "Omanut" publishing house. The books in the series were described as "the first Hebrew books intended for kindergarten children, and they included large colorful pictures the likes of which had not appeared until then in any Hebrew book. All the books in this series were printed using lithographic print, most in a beautiful large format, and the visual aspect in them was perhaps more important than the literary content" (Ayala Gordon, "Hebrew Illustrations", 2005, p. 90; Hebrew).
[12] pp. (including cover), 27.5 cm. Good condition. Minor blemishes. Stains (some dark) to edges of cover and to upper edges of leaves.
