The artist’s name is not stated on the title-page but is nonetheless signed on many of the illustrations. It should be noted that although Yerushalmi correctly records this Hagadah as Prague 1889, the illustration he depicts in his “Haggadah & History” (no. 118) is actually the second edition and printed without a date on the title (see Yudlov 2135 who dates it ca. 1900). The present copy, with date clearly visible on the title-page, is the “real” first appearance of this Hagadah issue.
