Large Collection of Original Caricatures – Adar Darian and "Ze'ev" – 1960s-1970s

A collection of approx. 260 original caricatures (ink on paper), by the illustrators and caricaturists Adar Draian and "Ze'ev" (Ya'akov Farkash). [Israel, ca. 1960s-1970s].
A rich collection containing caricatures dealing in a sophisticated and critical manner with a variety of political and social issues which preoccupied the daily Israeli press and the citizens of the State of Israel during the 1960s and 1970s, the work of two leading Israeli caricaturists – Adar Darian and "Ze'ev" (Ya'akov Farkash).
Most of the caricatures were drawn by Adar Darian (1931-2015) – an Israeli caricaturist, graphic designer and illustrator, born in Romania, winner of the 2012 Golden Pencil Award.
More than 200 caricatures are signed "Darian" (Hebrew) or "D" (Hebrew).
24 of the caricatures were drawn by "Ze'ev" – Ya'akov Farkash (1923-2002), a caricaturist and illustrator who was awarded the Sokolov Prize for Journalism (1981) and the Israel Prize for Communications and Journalism (1993).
The caricatures were published in the "Davar" and "HaAretz" newspapers. In their margins are printing instruction (in pen and pencil) and inked stamps of the newspapers which published them.
Size varies. Good overall condition. Some of them are stained (some with ink stains from preparing them for printing), and have fold lines and creases. Glued pieces of paper (originally) and pen and pencil notations.
