This exceptional and rare hardcover volume is a bound collection of Menorah: Jüdisches Familienblatt für Wissenschaft, Kunst und Literatur, Volume VII (1929), published bimonthly in Berlin and Vienna. This pre-Holocaust cultural publication is a profound artifact of Jewish intellectual and artistic life in Weimar-era Germany and Austria.
This volume includes all issues from January through December 1929 and features original art plates, critical essays, and cultural commentary. Menorah provided a voice for Jewish thought, art, and identity at a time of vibrant creativity and looming darkness. It contains original contributions by artists and scholars such as Fred Taubes, Jakob Glasner, Georg Merkel, and Benno Elkan, with remarkable content on music, literature, and sculpture, including poignant photographic plates such as “Frau auf der Strasse” and “Hanna Rowina.”
The book is bound in a textured marbled hardcover with a cloth spine titled in gilt with “Menorah VII. Jahrgang 1929.” It comes from the notable Amsterdam Judaica antiquarian shop “Pampiere Wereld” (Salomon S. Meyer). Internally, the book is in excellent condition with clean, well-preserved pages and intact photo plates. A small tape repair is present on the final blank page. The binding shows some minor shelf wear but remains solid.
This is more than a collectible—it is a vital historical document capturing the cultural optimism of the Jewish intelligentsia in Europe shortly before the devastation of WWII. Rarely seen on the market, especially in this condition.
