      Otte Wallisch - The Declaration of Independence - Signed Sketch - 1948

      Est: $2,000 - $3,000

      Sketch of the Declaration of Independence ceremony - 5 Iyar 1948 - by Otte Wallisch, pencil sketch, signed [on the lower right]. Renowned designer Otte Wallisch [1906-1977] took a central role in the Declaration of Independence ceremony. He was the one who designed the calligraphy of the Scroll of Independence. At the ceremony which took place on 5 Iyar, David Ben Gurion did not read from the scroll itself but from a typewritten draft, because Wallisch was only able to write the bottom part of the scroll due to a disagreement about the text of the Declaration of Independence which had not yet been decided. The scroll was made of three sewn squares of parchment and after the ceremony it was sewn to the part signed by the council members. Wallisch also designed Independence Hall at the first Tel Aviv museum in preparation for the independence ceremony, as well as designing dozens of posters for leading companies, the JNF, the UIA, many advertisements, sketches of Israeli coins, and much more. Size: 27x36 cm. Very fine condition.
