<<Miniature Siddur - Hermann Struck’s personal copy.>> Tipped in are a total of 38 pages in which Struck records, in his particularly petite hand, listings (place and date) of his many travels throughout the European Continent, North and Central America, Palestine and the Middle East. Earliest entry dates from 1906 and the listings continue all the way until Struck’s death in 1944. In another hand there are further travel entries through until 1961. A religious Jew throughout his life, the renowned artist Hermann Struck (1876-1944) was a fervent Zionist who moved from his home of Berlin to Eretz Israel in 1922, settling in Haifa where he played a prominent role in the city’s social and cultural life while also maintaining his links to the artistic circles of Europe. <<Provenance:>> By descent within the artist’s family.
