Product Overview
Although not a haggadah, no book in Jewish history has been illustrated more often than the Haggadah. Signs & Wonders: 100 Haggada Masterpieces is the first work to collate the history of the illustrated haggada--from the Middle Ages, to the early modern period, to the present. Focusing on the finest examples, the book reproduces each illustration in full color, alongside short descriptions that explore the meaning of the imagery, the achievement of the artist, and the larger historical context in which the book was produced. Wonderfully written and stunningly designed, Signs and Wonders brings its masterpieces to life, presenting a rich panorama of Jewish art through the ages. This book is not a haggada but an exploration of some of the most beautifully illustrated haggadot throughout history. Hardcover.
