“In issuing this new edition of the Haggadah, the publishers have aimed at giving to this time-honoured liturgy a setting of consummate beauty, a fitting testimony to the almost filial affection in which it is held by the Jewish people” (Publisher’s Note, by J. Davidson). This Hagadah was designed by the Anglo-Jewish artist Albert Rutherston (1881-1953), younger brother of the British impressionist painter Willliam Rothenstein. Unlike his contemporary Arthur Szyk who designed an equally celebrated Hagadah, Rutherston and his art did not remain self-enclosed within the confines of the Jewish experience, for he took his Jewish artistic talents to the broader world and subsequently became closely associated with some of the greatest names of 20th-century English arts as an influential member of the highly select Bloomsbury Group - while still preserving his Jewish identity, as exemplified by this extravagantly designed Passover Hagadah. A Beautifully Designed Hagadah by Albert Daniel Rutherston. Sumptuously Produced Under the Direction of Harold Curwen at the Curwen Press.
