“The success of the Amsterdam Hagadah of 1695 was such, that within a relatively short time its illustrations were copied in other places…First among the Amsterdam imitations was an edition published in Frankfurt a/Main in 1710. In quality and fineness of reproduction, however was surpassed by the Hagadah that appeared in Sulzbach a year later. But while the printer consciously followed his Amsterdam model throughout, he also reserved something for himself. A new frontispiece and a new title page now replace the corresponding leaves in the former. The frontispiece is among the most imposing to be found in eighteenth-century Hebrew books and has a magnificent sculptured quality.” Yerushalmi, 64-5.
