The Jews of York
Shai Grosskopf sent me this picture. He says it is from a book that he owns which was published in Germany in 1861 and which tells the story of the Jews of York in the twelfth century. I can pass on his email address to anybody who would like it.
The original German story was published in 1861: Isaac Ascher Francolm, Die Juden und die kreuzfahrer in England unter Richard Lowenherz, Leipzig 1861. But this is from the Hebrew translation, which was first published in Tel Aviv, 1944.

ReplyDeleteThank you! That makes sense - because the graphics looked very mid-20th century to me.
