Sixteen Debentures of the Anglo-Palestine Co. Limited – Designed by Yaakov Stark, "Bezalel" – London, 1908
Sixteen debentures of the Anglo-Palestine Co. Limited. London: Howard & Jones Press, [ca. 1908]. Design: Yaakov Stark (signed in the plate, in Hebrew: "Bezalel, Stark, Jerusalem"). Hebrew and English.
Debentures of the Anglo-Palestine Co. Limited, indicating that the company "Received from the Jeudischer Nationalfonds (keren Kajemeth Le jisroel), Limited, the sum of Frcs. 1000 (One Thousand Francs) as a deposit…". 12 of the debentures are marked "annulled" (of these, eight are cut in their lower margins to finalize their annulment).
These debentures were issued by the Anglo-Palestine Co. Limited against a loan from the JNF (which served as a legal cover for circumventing the ban placed by the Turkish government on the activity of the JNF in urban areas), to assist in the establishment of the "Achuzat Bayit" neighborhood.
The designer, Yaakov Stark (1881-1915), born in Poland, immigrated to Palestine in 1906 and was one of the first ten students of Bezalel.
16 debentures, with coupons. Approx. 32X26.5 cm (folded). Stains and minor blemishes.
