Metzad zeh Mizrach Ruach Chaim.

(MIZRACH).

(Klausenburg?), circa 1895

Black ink, Aschkenazic square and rabbinic Hebrew scripts in various sizes. Executed by Abraham Tzvi Reich in multiple colors on paper. Text flanked by birds on branches atop architectural pillars, geometrical borders.

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.
