Content:
Arthur Szyk's illuminated Haggadah was a labor of love that consumed more than a decade of his life. He originally intended his Passover story to be a strong statement against the Nazis, but no publisher in Poland or Czechoslovakia dared take on a project with strong iconography. When he found a publisher in England, he created this dedication page to King George VI, imploring him in courtly fashion to found the State of Israel. Szyk caricatures himself in the lower right corner, as a puckish Medieval artist as many scribes had done before him.
