Visit Palestine – Poster Designed by Franz Kraus
"Visit Palestine", a poster promoting tourism and immigration to Eretz Israel, designed by Franz Kraus. [No printer's details, 1936]. Signed in print.
A fine, colorful illustration, in lithographic printing – view of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, during sunset. In front – the Temple Mount, with the Dome of the Rock, and in the background – houses of Jerusalem.
The poster was designed by Franz Kraus in 1936, during the days of the Fifth Aliyah, commissioned by The Tourist Development Association of Palestine, and is considered the most famous work by Kraus.
It seems that the poster offered here is not the final version of the poster - printed with some differences in colors and in a different size from the size mentioned in the catalogue “Franz Kraus: Posters” (catalogue of an exhibition in the Tel-Aviv Museum. Curator: David Tartakover. Tel-Aviv, 1981).
57X88.5 cm. Good condition. Numerous creases. Slight damages and tears at margins.
