No page numbering.  Leather cover with olive wood end pieces.  Motif on front page represents Rachels Tomb.  Other end piece sales "Jerusalem".  Spine is leather with Hebrew characters. Pages are very brown with age.  Except for first couple of pages, which are basically the title page, the binding remain fairly tight.  The binding method though is string and therefore not that strong, allowing movement of ages.   Handle with care!

Published by J.B. Franklin, Jerusalem (Palestina) in the Hebrew Year 5670 (Sept. 1909 to Sept. 1910).   Good condition.

80mm x 65mm x 40mm
