Sabbath Nachamu Hand Coloured Picture

I got this photo from Menachem, owner of an Israeli bookstore called Simple Books- Josef-inheritance.

David Wallersteiner, Menachem’s father grandfather, drew it in 1935 in Palestine for Sabbath Nachamu, which is the Sabbath after the 9th of Av.

Size:14cm X 18cm

The Star of David here looks more religious than national.
