View through Europeana Collections
A pair of identical copies from the same postcard, with a miniature print from an engraving depicting a group of Jews studying at Beit Midrash, apparently in one of morocco's communities. The postcard did not state the source of the engraving, But it is most likely based on the painting by French oriental and artist Jean Jules Antoine Lecomte du Noüy (1842-1923) "Jews read the Torah, a souvenir from Morocco" (The Reading of the Bible by the Rabbis: A of Souvenir) on the postcard printed the name of the work in Hebrew and German (on the later printing) , from 1903), and a number was also specified. According to this number, it was produced within the first 100 postcards of "Lebanon", Moscow, in 1903, and printed in Warsaw. The earlier postcard, from 1903, is not divided. The company's name and trademark were printed on the back of the postcards. These postcards were not used and were removed from the collection of "Lebanon" postcards donated to the National Library in 1939 by the publisher's editor-in-chief, Mr. Benjamin Mintz, Warsaw.
