Provenance: Estate of children's author Ben Tziyon Raskin.
Elazar Lissitzky [1890-1941]: was among the most prominent figures in the Russian avant-garde; Marc Chagall's great disciple. He designed many exhibitions - his work is noted for its style which became the most central in the world of graphic design in the entire 20th century. Lissetzky's career, from beginning to end, stood upon the belief that an artist can be an agent for change, a concept that expressed in essense in the German characterization "das zielbewußte Schaffen" ("purposeful work"). As a Jew, he started his career designing Yiddish children's books in an attempt to advance Jewish culture in the Russian empire, which at the time underwent tremendous changes in scope, including cancellation of the many antisemitic laws. In his later years, Lissetzky initiated many innovations and changes in the world of typography, exhibition design and photomontage, and he also took part in the design of many books, and he received worldwide fame for his monumental works.

Chatchatulah SheShachechah ech Tishal Ochel, a story by BenTziyon Raskin [according to Palmir], artist Chaim Hanft. Published by Tarbut, Poland, Warsaw, 1923.
The story of a kitten who played with puppies until she was hungry. After seeking advice from different animals, she found her mother, who gave her food. Chaim Hanft ... was an extremely strange artist. Like Lissitzky, he also tried to simplify the forms of animals into a condensed, minimalist outline from a color perspective. He provides the animals with human eyes, sometimes laughing and sometimes squinting. Yet his kitten, despite its human face and squinting eyes, is so strange and inadequate that she does invite the child to identify with her at all." [Ayalah Gordon].

HaTarnegol HaTarnegolet VeGinat HaYerek by BenTziyon Raskin, illustrations by Chaim Hanft. Published by Tarbut - Warsaw, 1923.
Hebrew children's book, illustrated. "Raskin dedicated his pen primarily to the most basic level, the youngest age. He wrote his tales for toddlers. BenTziyon attempted to tell his tales in a simple, short yet masterful way. He distanced himself from cheap sentimentality and counterfeit sweetness. The merit of Raskin's youth stood before him. He was one of the founders of the Poalei Tziyon party in Poland when he was young. He tried to include the foundation of work into his tales ..." [Quoted from T. Chaskinah, as appeared in Davar on 23/8/1931 on the one-year anniversary of Raskin's death].
Ben Tziyon Raskin was a Yiddish author and translator, he also used the pen name "Uncle Ben Tziyon." Teacher and revolutionary in Poalei Tziyon, he passed away prematurely in 1930 at 40 years old, by drowning in the sea off Tel Aviv.

Meoraot Dubon HaKatan written and drawn by Mary Tourtel, Hebrew edition translated by Avraham Even Shoshan, published by Itoneinu, Jerusalem 1934. Rare.
The book was originally part of the Rupert Bear series written by English author Mary Tourtel, which was published as comics in the Daily Express. The style of the illustrations in the book are somewhat reminiscent of the Doctor Dolittle illustrations. The book was written entirely in rhyme, and the translator succeeded in the difficult task of translating the book in such a way that it is also written in rhyme in Hebrew, without changing the story line. One of the interesting things in the book (which was not sufficiently researched) is the fact that the commas and periods appear at the height of the middle of the letters, and not at the bottom as is currently accepted. There are those who claim that there was an unsuccessful attempt with this book to set up punctuation in a way that was different from the norm.
