THE PALESTINE POST THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS BORN ! Israel 75th Anniversary Commemorative Large poster Print Step back into time and relive one of the most historic days in modern history - the creation of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948. The announcement, at 4:00 PM on a Friday afternoon, represented the most important declaration in close to 2,000 years of Jewish history. The Palestine Post, a newspaper published for the English-speaking audience published a one-page, 2-sided, broadsheet that has become a rare and exceptional collector’s item, running in the thousands of dollars. It almost never got published. Upon the declaration of the State, the surrounding Arab armies immediately attacked. Jerusalem had power failures. The Linotype machines started working at 1:00 AM and the iconic paper became a cherished part of history. In honor of the upcoming 75th Anniversary, and with access to a rare original paper, we set out to produce a limited run of the most authentic reproduction ever made. Printed on fine matte paper this absolutely beautiful print captures all the nuances of the original letterpress printing, in crisp and contrasting B&W - including broken characters and font and alignment inconsistencies - all in actual size. In addition to being a frame-able vintage piece of art, owning this reproduction transports you back into real time 1948.
