Tuesday Flickr Set: Hebrew graphics.
During our first week at Bespoke, Conahan referenced a wonderful set of eastern European matchbooks from Jane McDevitt's Mariad Design. Of a similar vein, at least with regard to that era of print production, Philipp Messner (isotype75 at Flickr) has, for quite some time, been adding to his delicious collection of historical Hebrew graphic works reflecting contributions to the voice of the Jewish state at the time of Allied enlistment propaganda, posters, pamphlets and press advertising. Supporting an excellent presentation of modern Hebrew typography, Messner's set includes collections of Yohanan Simon, Pesach Ir-Shay, Otte Wallish, Franz Krausz and the venerable Rudi Deutsch (later, Dayan) which—at least in part—reflects Deutsch's work while leading the graphic design program at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
