A beautifully produced reference volume devoted to the artistic heritage of East European Jewry, inspired by the pioneering ethnographic work of Semyon (S.) An-sky. Published in Moscow in 1994, this richly illustrated album celebrates An-sky’s landmark Jewish Ethnographic Expedition (1912–1914), which documented the disappearing material culture and folk traditions of Jewish communities across the Pale of Settlement.   The book presents over one hundred pages of high-quality reproductions featuring illuminated Hebrew manuscripts, decorated title pages, synagogue art, folk ornament, ritual objects, archival photographs, historical documents, and rare material relating to The Dybbuk and An-sky’s ethnographic legacy. Scholarly essays provide historical context, making this an important reference for collectors, researchers, and anyone interested in Jewish art and cultural history.
