Photograph of Dr. Landau, Personal Physician of Rebbe Rashab – With Letter of Authenticity Signed by the Granddaughter of Rebbe Rashab, Rebbetzin Chanah Gurary, "He Was Very Loyal to My Grandfather"
Photograph of Dr. Landau, personal physician of Rebbe Shalom Dov Ber Schneersohn, the Rashab of Lubavitch, and of his family.
Small photograph, mounted on card.
Letter of authenticity enclosed (handwritten note, in English), signed in Hebrew by Rebbetzin Chanah Gurary (1899-1991), eldest daughter of Rebbe Rayatz and granddaughter of Rebbe Rashab: "I hereby gift… the photo of my grandfather's doctor – Dr. Landau. He was very loyal to my grandfather". Dated – 26th November 1989.
The book Ashkavta DeRebbi by R. Moshe Dov Ber Rivkin, who stood beside the Rashab in his final moments, describes the devoted care of Dr. Landau in the final days and moments prior to the passing of the Rashab on Motza'ei Shabbat, 2nd Nissan 1920.
Dr. Landau continued serving as physician of the rebbe's family even after the passing of the Rashab (he was presumably Dr. Nachum Landau, director of the Jewish hospital in Rostov-on-Don in those times).
4.5X3 cm. Mounted on card (edges of card torn; lower edge trimmed close to photograph). Good condition. Minor defects.
