A large fabric flag, with a Star of David, flags of the USA and England, and the inscription "Welcome Home".
Unknown place, end of World War II, c. 1945-1947.
The inscription and various decorations are nicely sewn on a large fabric sheet (apparently fabric from a parachute). At the top of the flag on a blue peripheral frame, the initials RAF and RPB are sewn and between both sets of initials is a fabric decoration in the shape of an airplane. Under them are sewn appliqués in the shape of the USA flag (on the right) and the British flag (on the left). Sewn in the center of the flag is a large blue Star of David, with the inscription "Welcome Home" in light-colored lettering on a red background. At the bottom appear the initials ATS and MCB.
Presumably, RAF stands for Royal Air Force (British) and ATS stands for Auxiliary Territorial Service – the auxiliary women's force of the British Army. The other acronyms are probably also stand for military units of the British or US armies.
We do not know for certain where the flag was displayed, but apparently it was made to greet Jewish soldiers who served in the Allied forces, on their return to Europe after the war. Perhaps it originates from one of the occupied zones – American or British – in Germany or the Bizone in Germany, which was controlled from January 1, 1947 by both US and Great Britain.
Enclosed is a small US flag (34X55 cm.) made from the same material with the same techniques.
78X107 cm. Good condition. Few stains. Minor tears and unraveling. Laces at corners and on margins for tying.

Three original sketches (ink on cardboard) for JNF postage stamps, made by Yosef Ross, 1949.
1. A sketch of the stamp "Israeli Declaration of Independence". The stamp was issued in 1949, with several changes (the place of the texts, direction of those sitting behind the table and the manner in which they are sitting, Herzl's portrait hanging on the curtain, the order of those sitting beside Ben Gurion and their number). Signed.
16X24.5 cm. Stains, tape, minor damages to margins. Glue residue on the reverse.
2. A sketch of the stamp "If I forget thee Jerusalem, my right hand shall be forgotten" – Road of Heroism monument. The stamp was issued in 1949. In the computerized JNF stamp catalogue it is called "The Road to Jerusalem". The stamp was printed according to this sketch without any changes. The monument was designed by the sculptor Moshe Ziffer (1902-1989), constructed in December 1948 and located near the settlement Mishmar David. It is designed like an obelisk rising to the height of 13 meters, made from stones brought from the battlefields on the way to Jerusalem, to commemorate the breaking through of the road to Jerusalem during the War of Independence. Signed. 16X24 cm. Stains, tape, minor damage to margins.
3. A sketch of a stamp with four flags of the State of Israel. Apparently, the stamp was never issued. Signed. 15X25 cm. Stains.
Enclosed items:
4. First Day of Issue envelope, Independence Day 1949. On the cover were pasted two JNF postage stamps: "Israel's Declaration of Independence" and "The Way to Jerusalem" (mentioned above, no. 1-2), with stamps of "First Day of Issue" and postal stamp from Haifa. On the envelope appears Ben Gurion's signature and the stamp "David Ben-Gurion, Prime Minister and Minister of Defense of the State of Israel'. 10X17.5 cm. Good condition.
5-7. Essays of JNF stamps: "The Jewish Brigade"; "The Way to Jerusalem" and "Israel Declaration of Independence" (with corrections by Ross). All three are 1:1 and signed by Ross.
8-9. Pair of "Israel's Declaration of Independence" stamps (blue), imperforate; "The Way to Jerusalem" stamp.
10. A certificate dated 1945, with "The Jewish Brigade" stamp (the stamp is signed "Ross").
The designer of the postage stamps is the illustrator and caricaturist Yosef (Joseph) Ross (1911-1991), born in Antwerp, Belgium, never formally studied art or drawing. Studied medicine in the University of Berlin until 1933 (the year the Nazi party began its regime), at which time he returned to Belgium. In 1935 immigrated to Eretz Israel, on board of the ship "Tel-Aviv". In Eretz Israel, Ross opened an advertising office and simultaneously began sketching political figures and caricatures. Designed several stamps for JNF. His illustrations were published in most of the daily newspapers in Eretz Israel and in newspapers abroad. During the Mandate years, Ross focused on the struggle against the British government and a few of his caricatures were invalidated by the censor. After the establishment of the State of Israel, his satiric illustrations were dedicated to disputes between parties and to the Israeli-Arab conflict. Ross drew a series of sketches of the members of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine – The UNSCOP, which was published in a special album in 1947.

Collection of original caricatures and sketches by Dosh, 1959-1962.
Dosh is the pseudonym of Kariel Gardosh (1921-2000). Born in Budapest by the name of Karl Gardosh (originally: Goldberger) where he finished high school, and later began academic studies in the University of Szeged. When World War II broke out, he was sent to a labor camp. After the war, after returning to Budapest, he discovered that his parents and most of his family had perished in the Holocaust. At the beginning of 1946, left Hungary for Paris where he studied literature at the Sorbonne. In 1948, Gardosh ascended to Eretz Israel, changed his name to Kariel, joined the Lechi and drew caricatures for its journal, HaMa'as. Due to his lack of fluency in the Hebrew language, he chose to join the Hebrew media as a caricaturist. After the murder of Folke Bernadotte, Gardosh was arrested and after his release, he worked as the graphic editor of the magazine HaOlam HaZe. (In 1953, he was injured when a bomb was thrown at the magazine headquarters). That same year, he joined the Ma'ariv staff and published a daily political caricature in the newspaper for many years. Eventually, he began to write articles, stories and skits, and at the same time wrote for the Hungarian language newspaper Új Kelet (The New East). In 1956, Dosh first created the figure of Israelik, which became so very popular representing the State of Israel and the typical Israeli Tzabar. Later, the name was shortened to Srulik.
This collection includes the following items:
* 110 caricatures for newspapers from 1960-1962. They were published in the Ma'ariv newspaper and in the Hungarian language Israeli newspaper Új Kelet. These caricatures are final versions (ink on paper), with printing instructions. The titles are usually handwritten in pencil. Sometimes, a text in Hungarian is pasted on the Hebrew text for publication in Új Kelet after its publication in Ma'ariv. Srulik appears in most of the caricatures. The caricatures deal with a variety of political, state and social topics on the agenda at the 1960s. They include the relations with the USSR, the Algerian Jews, inflation, leaving Israel for countries abroad (yerida), Haifa port workers' strike, the abduction of Yossele Schuchmacher, the second Geneva Convention etc. All were drawn on regular paper leaves, besides seven caricatures, which were drawn on heavy Bristol paper (three are especially large – 25X70 cm. 35X49 cm. 35X40 cm.).
** 47 sketches, from 1959-1962: Pencil sketches, a sketch for a poster advertising the film "The Third Side of the Coin" (watercolor on paper), advertisement for an "electric water heater" (ink on paper), advertisements for the Telma Company (pencil on paper), caricature with dedication to Minister Abba Eban (ink on paper), several sketches for an advertisement poster, for scenery for the program "Cat in the Sack" of the Batzal Yarok (Green Onion) theatre and entertainment troupe.
** Approximately 13 various leaves: Letters sent to Dosh, a letter to Abba Eban, illustrations in honor of the doctors and nurses of Asuta Hospital (including illustrations depicting backaches and respiratory-problems), and other items.
Varied size and condition. Tears, creases and cutouts to margins of some caricatures.
