A seminal work of 20th-century Judaica, Das ostjüdische Antlitz is a profound collaboration between writer Arnold Zweig and artist Hermann Struck. This 1922 edition features 52 striking lithographic portraits of Eastern European Jews. This copy contains a highly rare, handwritten dedication and signature by Arnold Zweig on the flyleaf. The inscription, dated July 1923, is addressed to "Herrn und Frau Dr. Hirschberg". Condition: The original green cloth spine is heavily damaged, showing significant material loss and fraying that exposes the underlying binding structure. The first two pages, including the important flyleaf featuring Arnold Zweig’s handwritten dedication, are completely loose from the rest of the volume.
