We are honored to present you with the second auction which includes books from the estate of Natan Zach, one of the greatest Hebrew poets. In recent months we have been blessed with repeated visits to the Tel Aviv apartment that was Zach's home, where we discovered that beyond being a poet, Zach was one of the most dedicated collectors we have come across.
In this auction we present art books with original lithographs, poetry books in first editions, books with autographs and dedications, including dedications to Zach, numbered and magnificent editions and various items of interest such as Rorschach's tablets, French newspapers from the Dreyfus affair, Edgar Allan Poe poems hand-illustrated by a German POW and so much more.
This is the second auction from a series of Zach's estate.
* The books can be collected independently from our address at Masaryk 14, Tel Aviv, between the days Sunday-Thursday 10: 00-17: 00, or delivered inside Israel at a cost of 40 NIS, or abroad with price determined by weight and shipping method.
