Jewish Library Childrens Books



















The Jewish National and University Library in Israel have about 30 childrens books available that range from 1879 to 1928. The majority are from the early 1920s.

Viewing the books requires a DjVu browser plugin. You can then download individual pages if you want, which are only modestly sized but enormous when opened in an image viewing program like Irfanview. (eg. a 350kb DjVu file opens to ~6000 x 3000 pixel image).

The above images are a random assortment from a dozen or so books which I touched up slightly.
