LEVY, Emil & OPPENHEIM, Moritz : Bilder aus dem Altjudischen Familienleben. Nach Originalgemalden von Moritz Oppenheim

Heinrich Keller,, Frankfort a/Main, 1882

A very good copy of the rare first edition of this classic of Judaica, in the original cloth, the front board detached, dampmarked and warped, lacking the spine. The text block is clean and tight, with the 20 photogravure/heliogravure plates in choice state. Page size is 380 x 270mm, with image size 225 x 180mm. Moritz Daniel Oppenheim (January 7, 1800 in Hanau, Germany – February 26, 1882 in Frankfurt am Main) was a German painter who is often regarded as the first Jewish painter of the modern era. His work was informed by his cultural and religious roots at a time when many of his German Jewish contemporaries chose to convert. Oppenheim is considered by the scholar Ismar Schorsch to be in sympathy with the ideals of the Wissenschaft des Judentums movement, because he remained "fair to the present" without denying his past.. Illustr.: Moritz Oppenheim
