Large color lithograph Yahrzeit plaque with a map of Eretz Israel and the moshavot, by Michael Friedman. Safed, 1913/1914.
A detailed map of Eretz Israel divided into tribal territories is depicted in the center of the plaque, surrounded by a wide border containing a list of the Jewish moshavot and naïve depictions of holy sites and cities in Eretz Israel, set in various stylized frames.
Empty cartouche at the foot of the leaf for inscribing the names of the deceased.

A later, unsigned version of the plaque, with English headings and inscribed "Mizrach", was printed in 1937 (E. & G. Wajntraub, Hebrew Maps of the Holy Land. Wien: Brüder Hollinek, 1992. W. 100.).
The map is not listed in the NLI, nor in OCLC.
