Cornerstone Laying Ceremony for the Hebrew University of Jerusalem - Photograph Stamped by Ya'akov Ben-Dov, "Bezalel Jerusalem." 1918
Large photograph depicting community leaders and various scholars at the cornerstone laying ceremony for Hebrew University. Embossed stamp in the lower right corner: "Y. Ben-Dov, Bezalel Jerusalem" 1918.
On the right side is a large decorated canopy, with the cornerstone cast under it for this Zionist intellectual enterprise. Next to a pillar, with his back to the camera, is the activist Mordechai Ben Hillel HaKohen, who ran the ceremony and honored the various invitees to pour the foundation stone. A fabric Beit Midrash L'Morim HaIvri flag is visible in the background.
The National Library preserves photographs taken by Ben-Dov from this event, but they are not identical to this photograph here.
Historic photograph, taken by one of the most prominent Israeli photographers at the beginning of the 20th century.
26.5x19.5 cm.
Moderate condition. Crease at the top across the entire leaf. Stains. Pencilled notation at the back of the photograph.
