Ben Shahn's Haggadah for Passover (Vintage)

A Vintage Haggadah Printed In 1965

by Ben Shahn (Illustrator), Cecil Roth (Editor)

 

Ben Shahn’s Haggadah is a beautiful book that celebrates the traditions of Passover and highlights Shahn’s masterful skill as an artist and calligrapher.

 

Many of the illustrations in Shahn’s Haggadah were made around 1930. However, it was not until 1965 that the artist collected the drawings and watercolors together to form the printed Haggadah. Only 292 copies of the book were produced. 

 

Shahn said that the work “reflects my memories of the Passover in my father’shouse. It reflects my early impressions and feelings; the images that were always invoked in my fancy by the majestic and meaningful ritual.”

 

While we aim to offer this vintage haggadah in very good condition, please note there may be some visible wear; the photo featured is not the actual copy you will receive.
