GOLDEN BOOK

Golden Book

Not strictly speaking a book, but more properly termed a decorative binding, this volume is one of several Golden Books that Ismar designed for the Jewish National Fund, the Keren Kayemet Le-Israel. It commemorates Chaim Weizmann in 1948. “There is one way in front of us, the way of work and labor. Dunam by dunam.”

Golden Book

The Golden Book bindings were made to contain the names of contributors to the Trees for Israel fund. The KKL commissioned a new binder after a few opening pages had been completed and then used them until full, regardless of the timespan.
