Large collection of wine labels, including important and rare items

A large and variegated collection of wine labels, including: the winery in Rishon Le'Zion, the wineries of Petach Tikva, the Templers winery in Wilhelma-Sharona, labels of Monson Print, labels of Ze'ev Raban, Adloyada (Purim Carnival), labels of Jewish wine from Djerba and Morocco and other important items. Most rare!
A total of 66 labels and a trial print of a label for Rishon Le'Zion wine from the end of the 19th century.
With the beginning of the return to Zion, at the end of the 19th century, the first wineries were founded in the renewed Yishuv. The wineries served as an economic lever for developing the country. The wine bottles were exported to Jews all over the world.
The labels were those which promoted the sale of the wine among the Jews abroad. The labels depicted the lovely vineyards, the trains of camels, the palm trees – all in the oriental style in which it was customary to depict the Land of Israel those days for the American and European Jews. Beside these, the Star of David had a place of honor. Thus, the labels became lovelier with the years: from one color to many, from simple illustrations to those of the greatest artists in the country, headed by Raban.
The largest printing houses participated in the printing of the labels, among them the lithography of Monson.
The collection before us tells the wonderful story of the relationship between wine, pioneering spirit and art. The labels are from the end of the 19th century, through the Ottoman period and the British Mandate.
On some of the labels, the name of the importer and the country to which the bottle was sent are printed in small letters.
The collection also includes wine labels from a Jewish winery in Djerba, Tunisia and a wine label from a Jewish winery in Morocco.
A detailed list of the items will be sent to anyone interested.
Condition: Very Good.
