Remarkable collection of 20 woodcuts by Kolnik, accompanied by French text, inspired by the Yiddish work of I L Peretz, with which, Kolnik admits in his introduction, some liberties have been taken. From a limited edition of 1,126 copies of which this is no.501. Dedicated to the memory of "my brothers killed, with wives and children, in the death camps of Poland". Presented as 24 folded sheets, loose in plain card covers with printed paper wraps. Original onion-skin wraps also in situ. Some light toning to stock, but otherwise in VG order throughout. Light wear only to card covers and some toning to onion-skin. Folio. [4] 96pp
