Poster for the film "Land of Promise". No printer or designer details, undated. [Palestine, 1935]. [Designer: Otte Wallish].
Fine color illustration of a pioneer sowing the ground, above him a music staff with notes. The poster was designed by Otte Wallish for the film "Land of Promise", produced in 1935 by Keren HaYesod for distribution abroad as propaganda intended to raise funds for Jewish settlements in Palestine.
There is another version of this poster, twice its size, to which Wallish added a bottom part with the inscription: "Keren HaYesod Sows - the Hebrew People Reap" [in Hebrew].
See:
1. "Otte Wallish, the Face of Land and Nation", exhibition catalogue, Tel Aviv Museum, 2015. P. 90 [Hebrew].
2. "Keren Hayesod Sows - the Hebrew People Reap, Keren Hayesod Posters 1920-2010" (Editor: David Tartakover). Keren Hayesod publishing, 2010. P. 22 [Hebrew].
89.5X64 cm. Good condition. Folding marks and creases. Fold lines reinforced with thin acid-free paper. The poster is cut on its top margins (where the designer's signature appeared).
Provenance: Collection of Dr. Simon Cohen.
