Micrograph. The Book of Kings. King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Frankfurt am Main, [1899]
An impressive micrograph of the Book of Kings. King Solomon and his attendants greeting the Queen of Sheba, who is leaning on the shoulders of her maidservants. By Moshe Eliyahu Goldstein. Frankfurt am Main, [1899].
[1] Leaf 40*50 cm.
Begins with Kings 1, 1 until Kings 2, 19. At the top of the drawing is written: "A gift has been sent…", and in hand-written letters of gold: "Madam Charlotte Speyer". The artist completed his work on Lag B'Omer in 1899, and apparently it was printed in the same year.
Fold marks. Small tears at the folds with no loss. Tiny holes. Age stains. Moderate condition.
