summary

Apparently 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 relate to the Hagadah text. See Zohar Shavit and H. Ewers (eds.), Deutsch-juedische Kinder- und Jugendliteratur von der Haskalah bis 1945 ... Ein bibliographisches Handbuch (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
