Wallish was born in Vienna and emigrated to Palestine in 1934, a time of increasing peril for the Jews of Austria... During the 1930's and 1940's, Wallish worked on artistic arrangement, statistical graphs and other design aspects for books. In 1929, his own book was published, ABC: Ein Bilderbuch.
