summary

Apparantly the First Hebrew Printed Book Issued With Colored Illustrations. No copy in The National Library, Jerusalem. The illustrations have been culled from genre illustrations of the day, whose themes coincidentally and sometimes amusingly, coincide with the Hagadah text. See Zohar Shavit and H-H. Ewers (eds.), Deutsch-juedische Kinder- und Jugendliteratur von der Haskalah bis 1945 … Ein bibliographisches Handbuch, 2 vols. (Stuttgart and Weimar, 1996). With thanks to Dr. Brad Sabin Hill, Christchurch, Oxford for his comments and pointing out the reference above.
ff.28. Opening leaf laid down, few paper repairs, stained. Modern boards. 8vo
