"Mizrach"
(East) is a traditional Jewish decoration
indicating the direction of daily prayer.
In this example, printed by A.L. Mohnson
of Jerusalem,
use was made of three elements: a pictorial
view of Jerusalem and in particular
of the Jewish
Quarter in the Old
City; Hebrew scriptural texts; and
maps. Below the map appears an original
copyright passage: "I am confident
that the Rest of Israel [i.e. 'my brethren']
will not, heaven forbid, tresspass upon
my privileges till the end of the appropriate
period."
