Young Israel, a monthly magazine, edited by Leopold Greenberg. London: Wertheimer, Lea and Co. Press, 1897-1900. Issues 1-36, bound in three volumes. English and a little Hebrew.
The magazine Young Israel was published in England during the years 1897-1900. It was edited by Leopold Greenberg (1861-1931), a British-Jewish journalist, the editor of the Jewish Chronicle, an active member of the Zionist Organization and one of Herzl's most devoted followers. Its issues contained articles, poems and quizzes on Zionism, accompanied by pictures, illustrations and sheet music. In its third year, in attempt to change its audience profile, the magazine was renamed "Israel, the Jewish magazine".
This is a complete collection of all the issues that were printed in the first three years, bound in three separate volumes (one volume per year, with title pages and indices). To sixteen of the issues, a supplement titled "Israel's Budget" was added and to seven of them, a supplement titled "The Messenger of Zion". To issues contain large printed plates: a portrait of Theodor Herzl and a portrait of Alfred Dreyfus.
Three volumes: [4], 352; [4], 264; [4], 260 + [2] plates, bound together with 23 supplements (the number of pages varies), 24 cm. Five leaves are missing (from different issues). Good overall condition. A few stains and blemishes. Tears reinforced with tape to several leaves. A large piece is cut out of one of the leaves. Bound in fabric-covered bindings, with a gilt impression, damaged and slightly worn.
