A large photograph of Menachem Begin with a dedication to photographer David Rubinger
A large and impressive photograph of Menachem Begin with a dedication to the photographer David Rubinger, 1970s.

The recipient of the photograph, the renowned press photographer David Rubinger [1924-2017], a native of Austria, immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1939. One of the leading Israeli press photographers. Rubinger took about half a million pictures in his lifetime. Alex Liebek called him "the photographer of the state."

It is also known about some important photographs he took of Begin, in one of which Begin was seen helping his wife Aliza to lock the shoe while on the plane on their way to the United States, the famous photograph of Gedola Meir washing dishes in her home kitchen in Jerusalem, and many more.
