Lilien, Boats-1

I published already a photo of a Star of David from E.M. Lilien’s illustrations to the book Poems from the Ghetto (1902) that I shot myself, but what you see here is a similar illustration with a more prominent Star of David. Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer sent me this splendid scan, and I hurry to show it to you, dear reader, because for me every illustration made by this first Zionist painter is a celebration.

Zim Passenger Lines

Circle inside a Star of David on Zim’s postcard from the 60th showing its Passenger Lines. The postcard is from Hayim Shtayer’s collection.

Zim Flag

Photo of a black and white postcard from the 60th with seven Stars of David on Zim’s flag is
from Hayim Shtayer’s collection. Actually, the flag was on the back of the postcard, and I allowed myself to copy and paste it on the front.

Logo on a Smokestack

Photo of a postcard from the 60th with Zim’s seven Stars of David logo on the smokestack of its S.S. Theodor Herzl is from Hayim Shtayer’s collection. Interestingly these seven stars arrived at Zim’s logo because Theodor Herzl proposed them to the first Zionist Congress... amall world!
