Two rare items of Itamar Ben Avi: A festive photograph and his book ‘Canaan Artzenu’

A. Original photograph presented to Itamar Ben Avi by Moshe Yitzchak Matalon, in the 1940’s, on the occasion of Ben Avi’s trip to the United States. In the photograph, respected public figures are seen, including Matalon (standing) and his wife, and Ben Avi (sitting to his right), next to a festive table.
Moshe Yitzchak Matalon (1872-1959), born in Jaffa, was one of the builders of Tel Aviv.
Itamar Ben Yehuda (Ben Avi) (1882-1943), son of the reviver of the Jewish language, Eliezer Ben Yehuda, was a Hebrew journalist and Zionist activist.
Condition: Fair – Good. Stickers were placed on the back of the photograph at a later date. A few words in the inscription on the photo are illegible.
Rare!
B. The book ‘Canaan Artzenu’ – 5,000 Years of Israel on its Land Non-stop. Zion, 1932.
An especially interesting book which includes various essays about the land of Israel and Canaan. The author also surveys the history of the land years ago, regarding the Zionist idea and love of the land. The account of the years ends with a short description of “Ben Yehuda - Reviver of the language.”
Rare!
Condition: Good. Cover is missing the spine. The pages are slightly loose. The back cover is missing, and in its place is a new page with a dedication.
