Hayim Nahman Bialik - Letter to Jacob Fichman / Signed Postcard
1. Hayim Nahman Bialik, a letter in his handwriting and with his signature, addressed to Jacob Fichman (sent to the office of the "Yavne" publishing house in Warsaw). Written on an official postcard of the "Moriah" publishing house. Odessa, 1905. Hebrew.
The letter concerns the publication of Fichman's works. "See what distraction of the mind does! Yesterday I forgot to answer your most important question. You ask whether to go on translating Peretz [I. L. Peretz]. What question can there be? I've said that you're near the end of your work… for God's sake continue translating and send us a sheet per week… and in general, you should know we will make an effort to find work for you. If you write something good (in the field of textbooks, of course), contact us". Approx. 9X14 cm. Good condition. Numerous stains and creases. Some ink smears.
2. Postcard published by the Jewish National Fund in Vienna, with a photographed portrait of Hayim Nahman Bialik (by painter Wilhelm Wechtel). Signed in Bialik's handwriting. 15X10.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Peeling on reverse.
Provenance: Shlomo Shva collection.
