C. Storm: Judith before Holifernos.

View through Europeana Collections
Four identical copies of the same postcard, including a reproduction of the work of the French artist Gaston Casimir Saint-Pierre (1833-1916), depicting the heroine of the book "Judith" before Holperns, before beheading him. Each of the postcards was printed in different shades: black and white, brown-sepia and greenish. The black-and-white postcard (probably the earliest of the three) features the painter's name and the title of the painting in Hebrew and French, while the other two postcards are in Hebrew and German. The postcards are divided, and the reproduction is printed in them portrait rather than landscape. On the back of the postcards is printed the trademark of "Lebanon" Publishing, which produced them at the end of the first decade or early 20th century. 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. Also in the file: an un divided postcard, not published by Lebanon, containing the same reproduction, in a bluish greenish hue. Apparently, this postcard was also produced in Russia, near that time.
