The bank could then issue currency equal to 90% of the amount of the bonds. The financial panic of 1929 destroyed many of the National Banks and put an end to this system.There were more than 14,000 banks that issued National Currency and there are large numbers of avid collectors. The 1929 issue was the only “small size” issue, that is to distinguish from the “horse blanket” size notes of years previous to 1929. The note comes in two types. The Type I note has a brown seal with the charter number only in large black numerals. Type 2 notes have in addition the charter number printed with brown letters near the serial number of the note

<b>(AMERICAN JUDAICA).<br />Joseph Schwarz. A Descriptive Geography and Brief Historical Sketch of Palestine. Translated by Isaac Leeser. Illustrated With Maps and Numerous Engravings.</b>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span>FIRST AMERICAN EDITION AND FIRST EDITION IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. English interspersed with Hebrew. Frontispiece portrait of author, foldout maps of Land of Israel, lithographed views of Holy Places.</span>
<br />pp. xxii, (2), 17-518, (1), (1 blank). Ex-library, stained in places. Modern boards. 4to. Singerman 1161.
<br />Philadelphia: C. Sherman 1850
<br />This work first appeared in Hebrew under the title Tevu’oth Ha’Aretz in 1845. Four years later, the author visited the United States as a rabbinical emissary from the Holy Land and resided with his brother who was already established in New York. Whilst in America, Joseph Schwarz arranged for the Rev. Isaac Leeser to translate Tevu’oth Ha’Aretz into English. The publication was “probably the most important Jewish work issued in America up to that time.” (JE, Vol. XI, p. 119). Leeser was well cognizant of the pioneering status of the new Books and he proudly stated: “The execution of the whole…is the work of Jewish writers and artists, the drawings being executed by Mr. S. Shuster, a lithographer belonging to our Nation” (translator’s preface, p. viii). Leeser published the volume to “extend the knowledge of Palestine…and also to enkindle sympathy and kind acts for those of our brothers, who still cling to the soil of our ancestors” (translator’s preface, pp. viii-ix).

<b>SZYK, ARTHUR<br />Le Statut de Kalisz.</b>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span>46 (of 48) exquisite full-page colored plates (of which two are duplicated), magnificently composed by Szyk. Highly detailed miniatures, border decorations, elaborate geometric patterns and expert calligraphy, all profusely embellished. On white paper colored to a light-brown to accomplish the “antique” affect, after which the images were printed with gold and silver added by hand. Text in French, Polish, English, Hebrew, Yiddish, German, Italian and Spanish.Limited edition. With the rare colophon page, signed by Szyk and dated 1928. Originally issued loose in portfolio, here each leaf is attached to tabs and bound in deep burgundy morocco with publisher’s gilt and embossed medallion featuring symbol of King Arthur and his Knights on upper cover. Folio.</span>
<br />
<br />(Paris): F. Bruckmann for Editions de la Table Ronde 1932
<br />Exceptionally rare volume by Szyk. The last copy sold at Kestenbaum was in Sale 30, lot 309. The present copy is somewhat anomalous, at least as compared to other extant copies: There are two duplicated plates (20 & 28) and the plate ‘Jus Polonicum Jura Judaeis’ is absent as is the limitation page. “J.P. Roland-Marcel called the illumination of the Statute of Kalisz Szyk’s masterpiece and claimed that it placed him on the same level as the best illuminators of the sixteenth century.” See J.P. Ansell, Arthur Szyk pp. 51-61. "If the Haggadah is viewed as Szyk’s most famous illustrated work, surely his Statute of Kalisz is his single most important historic work. Reflecting the highest form of medieval manuscript illumination, this portfolio often has been called “The Jewish Magna Carta." With the affirmation of civil and religious liberties and freedoms for Jews by the Grand Duke of Poland, Boleslav the Pious, in 1264, the Golden Age of Polish Jewry was initiated. In this work, Szyk illuminates the mutually beneficial relationship that flourished between Poles and Jews for hundreds of years." I. Ungar, Justice Illuminated: The Art of Arthur Szyk (1998) p.15. See also J. P. Ansell, Art against Prejudice: Arthur Szyk's Statute of Kalisz, in: Journal of Decorative and Propaganda Arts (1989) pp. 46-6.

<p><span style="color: rgb(99, 0, 0);">SAMUEL WEINBERG</span> (1836-1926) emigrated to the United States from Hanover at age 16 in 1850, and settled in Baltimore, where, typical of his demographic, he took up work as a peddler. A 1910 volume, “The History of Frederick County, Maryland, ” notes that “by dint of perseverance and industry, [he] soon rose in the business world and settled in Frederick in 1860,” where he married and fathered ten children. The Jewish Museum of Maryland holds a manuscript memoir by Weinberg covering the years of his life from 1834 to 1863. </p>
