The Hebrew Battalion in Egypt - Herzl - connected Postcards -


Two postcards originally connected, a portrait of Herzl on the right and a map of Israel on the left. Published by e. "Messiah", Cairo, Tammuz 1917. The design of the postcards was specially designed for the Hebrew Battalion in Egypt.


On the back of the postcard is an illustration of a lion, a Star of David, and a menorah, and the inscription: 'The House of the Hebrew Army, for our people and for our country' (design: M. Eini). Below is the rare emblem of the Mashiach publishing house in Cairo - in the shape of a Star of David combined with a lamp. Sent on June 8, 1919, from the soldier of the Hebrew Battalion 'Shmuel' to his friend Herzl in Jerusalem: '... Hello Herzl! ... There is no very interesting news, but we think we will soon move to Eretz Israel. I am interested to know your situation in Jerusalem ... why is it so bad and bitter your current situation there? ... '(The postcard was sent to Herzl Horowitz - apparently the well-known teacher from the Hebrew school in Rishon Lezion, Who later received Lord Balfour on his visit to the colony. The first lived in Jerusalem, when his mother was deported to Egypt, then the postcard before us was sent to him).

The postcards are reinforced with glue in the connector strip. Stains. Good condition.
