"Undzer Melave Malka" – Yiddish Literary Anthology, With Illustrations by Henryk Berlewi – Warsaw, 1921
Undzer-Melave-Malka, aroysgegebn fun farayn fun Yidishe literaten un dzurnalistn in Warsaw [Our "Melave Malka", published by Union of Yiddish Authors and Journalists in Warsaw]. Editing: M. Vonvild [Moshe Yosef Dickstein], graphic design: Henryk Berlewi. Warsaw: Br. Wojckiewicz, [ca. 1921]. Yiddish.
Literary anthology in Yiddish with essays and poems by Yosef Tunkel, Zusman Segalowitch, Alter Kacyzne, and others, accompanied by illustrations by Henryk Berlewi and H. Goldberg.
The anthology is partly dedicated to the play "The Dybbuk" by S. An-Sky, first staged in Yiddish in 1920 by the "Vilnius Group" (di Vilner Trupe) in Warsaw. On the front cover, designed by Henryk Berlewi, appears a satiric illustration about the play, inspired by the Capitoline Wolf in Rome: A cow (representing "The Dybbuk") is seen suckling four actors, while a fifth actor is milking the same cow into a pail. The group's director, David Herman, is seen sitting by, looking at his actors morosely.
Alongside poems and essays printed in the anthology, appear portrait illustrations of the authors, some by Henryk Berlewi.
12 pp, 30 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains (some dark). Folding marks and some creases. Pinholes and small open tears.
