The illustrator, "Isaac Lichtenstein was born into a Jewish family in Lódz, Poland in 1889 and studied art at the Academy in Krakow. As a young man, he travelled widely, going to Paris at the turn of the twentieth century, where he was among the loose group of emigre artists, mainly of Eastern-European Jewish descent, living and working together at the collection of La Ruche (The Beehive) studios in Montparnasse and known as the Ecole de Paris or School of Paris. Together with Pinchus Kremegne, Henri Epstein, Leo Koenig, Marek Szwarc and Leon Indenbaum, Lichtenstein was one of the artists behind the publication of 'Machmadim' (Precious Ones), a textless Jewish art journal that was first published in 1912.After [World War I], Lichtenstein moved between London, Poland, Paris, and America, where he spent most of his life, reviving the Machmadim Publishing House [the publisher of this work] devoted to the production of artistic Yiddish books" (Ben Uri Gallery).
