Eretz Israel fue es y sera siempre nuestra [Eretz Israel is ours for eternity]. [Spain?, ca. 1947]. Spanish.
A napkin printed in orange, light blue and yellow. In the center appears a map of Palestine with the UN Partition Plan marked on it. Below the map appear a legend and a compass. A ship flying a flag with a Star of David is seen near the shore. In the upper part of the napkin are seen two langued lions, supporting the Tablets of the Law; portrayed alternately in the frame are shields with the symbols of the Twelve Tribes and Stars of David. On the right side of the map appears the text "Eretz Israel fue es y sera siempre nuestra, U.N. 29-XI-1947" and on the left side of the map: "Balfour 2-XI-1917". On the lower part of the napkin – seven branched Menorah with the letters "F"(?) and "L" on both sides (artist's initials?).
26.5X24.5 cm. Very good condition. Some unraveled threads at margins.
