[New York: Johnstone & Van Norden], March 5583 [1823]. FIRST EDITION. 252 x 148 mm. (10 x 5 7/8"). 18 pp. Unbound as issued, UNCUT AND UNOPENED sheets held together by a single stitch. ◆A couple of small brown stains affecting first four leaves, minor foxing, final leaf with small triangle missing from fore-edge margin, short tear at gutter margin (touching text but no loss), and four small holes in the lower third (no loss), fore edges a little frayed, but a very good, never-opened copy of an extremely fragile item. This is an unread copy of the first issue of the first Jewish periodical to be printed in the United States, a work aimed at counteracting the efforts of a missionary society to convert Jews to Christianity--and a remarkable survival, given its fragility. Editor (and author of much of the text) Solomon Henry Jackson (d. 1847) emigrated from England to Pennsylvania before settling in New York City in the 1820s. There, he established a press that used both Hebrew and English fonts to…

WITH 11 COLOR LITHOGRAPHS, titled, numbered, and SIGNED BY CHAIM GROSS. Text printed in red and black. ◆In mint condition.In this jubilant exploration of faith and community, prominent Jewish artist and émigré Chaim Gross (1902-91) presents a joyful mix of animated figures, bright colors, and decorative lettering in a series of lithographs illustrating the 10 holiest days of the Jewish calendar. Displaced from his small village in the Carpathian Mountains during the First World War, Gross in 1921 immigrated to America, where he studied at the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design in New York. He specialized in sculpture and printmaking, employing the method of direct carving he helped pioneer and for which he would predominantly be known. Following the Second World War, Gross became increasingly interested in Jewish subjects, and travelled to Israel…

Engraved frontispiece portrait with decorated border printed in blue ink, 14 engraved illustrations within the text representing the Stations of the Cross.

Julius, Phillipsburg, New Jersey." ◆A touch of mild scuffing to the celluloid, negligible, light browning to edges of leaves, otherwise IN VERY FINE CONDITION inside and out. Straddling the line between craft and kitsch, this modest prayer book has been elevated to an entirely different level with the addition of an exuberant binding meant to imitate the look of high-end materials.
