Flag OF ISRAEL Jewish Jews Judaica ADOPTED Star of David 1948 Old NYC Newspaper (Note: additional images are located below the description) Shown is an original & historic old newspaper, offered to enhance your collectible interest: THE NEW YORK TIMES, October 29, 1948
* Flag of Israel adopted
* Star of David
* Judaica - Jewish - Jews
the front page has a four column headline: "TRUMAN IN STRONGEST PLEA FOR ISRAEL BACKS BOUDARIES IN FIRST U.N. PLAN" with subheads and related photo. (see)
But what makes this issue key is a small, discrete one column heading on page 4 that reads: "Israel Adopts State Flag" which is a first report on the adoption of the Flag of Israel. It is unfortunate that this is such a undramatic headline and report but it is what it is, a historic 1st report. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 52 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Very nice condition.
wikipedia notes: The Flag of Israel was adopted on October 28, 1948, five months after the country's establishment. It depicts a blue Star of David on a white background, between two horizontal blue stripes. The blue colour is mandated only as "dark sky-blue", and varies from Flag to Flag, ranging from a hue of pure blue, sometimes shaded almost as dark as navy blue, to hues about 75% toward pure cyan and shades as light as very light blue.
