Two color prints by Arthur Szyk:
1. "Official Gazette, the Declaration of Independence of Israel", color print – the text of the Scroll of Independence decorated by Szyk. Signed and dated in print: New Canaan, Connecticut, 1948. Hand-signed by Szyk.
Impressive print combining illustrations of Zionist and Jewish symbols and portraits of biblical figures alongside images of a farmer sowing seed and a Jewish soldier - a combination of images of role models from the nation’s past alongside images that represent the new state, expressing the fulfillment of the vision of the redemption of the Jewish people in its own land.
53.5X 42.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Creases. Small number of stains. Tears at the edges (two of them with minor damage to the print).
2. Independence Loan certificate – certificate of appreciation illustrated by Arthur Szyk. Signed and dated in print: New Canaan, Connecticut, 1951.
This certificate was given to those who purchased Independence Loan bonds, the first loan of Israel Bonds.
Leaf: approx. 37X48.5 cm. Good condition. Small number of stains and creases.

Seven woodcuts by Yossi Stern (1923–1992) for the book "Road without End".
Signed in pencil. Some are dated 1945. Some are numbered.
Yossi Stern (1923-1992), born in Hungary, immigrated to Palestine in 1940. He worked in the work companies of the Betar movement and began his studies at The New Bezalel School for Arts and Crafts (today the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design) in 1943. These woodcuts were created for the Hebrew edition of the book "Weg ohne Ende" (Road without End) by writer Gershon Stern, entitled "Derekh ein ketz" (published in Tel Aviv in 1947), the plot of which concerns the expulsion of the Jews from Prague in 1745. The influence of Jakob Steinhardt, one of the teachers at Bezalel, can be seen in the woodcuts.
Average size: 18X10 cm. Good condition. Two of the woodcuts are identical.
