Two uncut printer's proofs of Lotto boards. Designed by Nehemia Bedarshi (1897-1953), a student at Bezalel. Jerusalem: "Litografia Bezalel Yerushalem", [ca. 1915].
Two sheets (color lithographs) – proofs of Lotto boards designed by Nehemia Bedarshi, featuring illustrations of the fruit, vegetables, and flowers of Palestine (several boards on each sheet; in all likelihood, the illustrations were influenced by a Lotto board game featuring the flowers of Palestine created by the painter Shmuel Charuvi, one of the teachers at the Bezalel School), with proofs of several other items: a business card and bookplate (?) of Shmuel Ben David, a library card for the Bezalel library, stamps (in Hebrew and Latin letters) of Ze'ev Raban (with both his adopted Hebrew and original surnames, "Z. Raban" and "Z. Ravitzki" respectively), Miriam Ravitzki, Shmuel Ben David, and M. Aloni, among others.
Two sheets, 50X34.5 cm. Good condition. Several minor tears to edges (not affecting print).
