Yahrzeit remembrance for one Yitzchak ben Shlomo Tzvi who died in Makove 1895 and is buried in Klausenburg. A Chassid who “never missed immersing himself in the Mikvah both winter and summer.” Also for his wife, Yehudith, daughter of Yaakov Hellman. The artist was seemingly a youngster as certain words are colloquially misspelled.
