Illustration of Haggadah selection

 

Five saves gathered in all-night study in Bnei Brak
Haggadah. Hamburg, 18th century
Hebrew Union College, Klau Library, Cincinnati

This illuminated work on parchment was produced by Jankew Sofer of Berlin at Hamburg/Altona in 1740/41. It was renovated by Israel Kornik of Dessau in 1841. Its oil miniatures also follow the illustrations found in the Amsterdam Haggadah of 1712, but here utilize a folk-art style found in several haggadot printed in Germany during the early 18th century.
