About This Item
New York: Summit Books, 1986. First printing. Hardcover. g+ to vg. Folio. 283, [1]pp. Original pictorial dust-jacket over blue cloth, with gold lettering on spine, and blind-stamped lettering on front cover. Lavishly illustrated in full color, "Jewish Folk Art" authoritatively examines the role that this art has played in Jewish culture, from birth to death, during the Sabbath and the other holy days, at home and in the synagogue. Taken from the best collections in the world, here are beautiful examples of marriage contracts, Torah binders, Esther scrolls, Seder plates, noise makers, mezzuzahs, amulets, paintings and other objects of wood, metal and embroidery used in custom and practice and created over a two-thousand-year period, wherever Jews have lived. Minor shelf wear. Slight age-toning along paper margin. DJ, binding and interior in overall very good condition.
