Description
Newark: United Jewish Appeal, N.d. (ca. 1927). Broadsheet, 54.5cm x 40.5cm (ca. 21½ x 16 inches), folding down to ca. 5-1/2" x 4". Old vertical and horizontal folds (as issued); faint dampstaining, ½-inch puncture in lower margin; complete and Very Good. A novel metamorphic fundraising broadsheet which, as it is unfolded, features the repeating phrase: "TIRED?" in heavy type on all five of the revealed panels, finally opening to a large portrait of a downtrodden refugee over an appeal to support a variety of charities including the United Jewish Campaign, the United Palestine Appeal, and the Conference of Jewish Charities: "Give until Your Conscience feels Good!" We've dated the piece to the year 1927, based upon the named Treasurer, Meyer Kussy, who according to contemporary newspaper accounts was appointed Treasurer of Newark's United Jewish Appeal in November, 1926. Kussy died in January 1928. Not coincidentally, the year 1927 was one of intense crisis in the settlement of Palestine: a flood of refugees from post-Civil War Russia had caused the region's population to grow rapidly, but economic production had failed to keep pace. It was a low point in the Zionist movement, causing many to question the practicability of Jewish settlement; one contemporary Jewish scholar even remarked, explaining Palestine's failure to flourish: "The answer to the question, 'What is wrong with Zionism?' seems to be that, although Jews are financially and culturally very powerful all over the world, only the poor and unsuccessful Jew who has a heroic capacity to suffer, but is without constructive experience, goes to Palestine" (see Ervin Acel, "The Crisis in Zionism;" Current History v.27 no.2 - November 1927). Campaigns like this one in America and, to a lesser degree in Western Europe, helped raise the many millions of dollars needed to support the movement until Jewish Palestine could achieve self-sufficiency.

Description
Columbia. No binding. About Fine. [Los Angeles: Columbia Pictures, 1947) Vintage original 8 x 10" (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photo. Minor creases at all four corners as well as a pinhole at each corner which have been covered with clear tape on the verso. About fine. Full-length glamour portrait depicting a provocative and seemingly dangerous femme fatale as characterized by Rita Hayworth. The filmmaking was fraught with problems, as was the film's reception, partially owing to the public not wanting to see Hayworth wearing short platinum blonde tresses as she does here. Her gown was designed by Jean Louis and she is featured wearing it on much of the publicity art. Photo is ink stamped on the verso Columbia Pictures, Photo by Coburn.
