Siddur for all year long, with psalms. Printed by Rosencranz, Vilna.

Newspaper copy is attached. The Rayatz stayed for medical reasons in Otwock (Otebsk). In 1939, a few days after the breakout of WWII, he left and returned to Warsaw, from which he was required to flee. He succeeded escaping. [3], 223; 34, 55 page; 68, 96 pages. 13cm. Good condition.
