summary

FIRST ENGLISH EDITION OF HERZL’S HERALD OF MODERN ZIONISM. Printed in the same year as the German original and far more scarce to appear at auction than its German counterpart. “Herzl’s Jewish State has remained the single most important manifesto of modern Zionism and is one of the most important books in the history of the Jewish People.” See M. Heymann, Bibliotheca Rosenthaliana-Treasures of Jewish Booklore (1994) pp. 102-3. See also Printing and the Mind of Man, no. 381.
pp. xii, 102, + one page ad. Slight tear on upper corner of first title, otherwise in fine condition. Later wrappers. 8vo
