  Printed Books  Be-Sukkot Teishvu Shiv'at Yamim, Jerusalem, circa 1935

The following description was prepared by William Gross:

Printing in the holy land began only in 1841, but by the end of the century, there were several printing houses and a large quantity of printed books and single sheets to serve a variety of purposes. A great many of these printed items were decorated by vignettes of holy places. This single sheet, printed for use in the Succah, is typical of many of the items prepared in Jerusalem.  They were often sent abroad as souvenirs or fundraising devices by the many Jewish self-help and charity organizations operating in the holy land. This sheet is printed with a large picture of the Kotel. This was printed by a small press by the name of Roheld, apparently in Jerusalem.
