Lot description
Chromolith., vellum 94 x 60 cm (trimmed to the picture); not signed (light unobtrusive folds).
Mounted on cloth.
Text in English, Arabic and Hebrew. Rather rare poster announcing the 1934 Levant Fair, picturing in an audacious perspective a mosque and a skyscraper. With at upper left corner, a small flying camel, "a special symbol designed by Arieh El-Hanani to represent the connection between East and West" (The Palestine Poster Project Archives).
