Rare Poster advertisement for the International Festival On Ice that was part of the Near East Exhibition and Fair (the famous Levant Fair) which took place in Tel Aviv.

By 1932, the Near East Fair, which had been held several times since 1923, was formally named the Levant Fair. An international trade and commerce show, it highlighted Jewish Palestine’s economic success and was intended to help cement Tel Aviv as an international city at the crossroads between the East and the West. The architect Arieh El-Hanani designed the “Flying Camel” as a logo for the fair, representing the connection between the East and West, and no doubt making a connection to the winged helmet of Mercury, God of Commerce

Oded Burla [1915-2009] was an Israeli illustrator, writer, poet, and artist. He is considered one of the founders of children’s literature in Hebrew. In 2008, Burla was awarded the Bialik Prize for literature

The Oriental view is a recurring motif in advertising posters for tourism of the Land of Israel produced by leading designers of the period. The various illustrators depicted the Land as perceived in the glory days of Tanach. Spring and nature represented the romantic longing for the renewal of the youth of the people in Zion, and was one of the most beloved subjects of artists such as Gur-Aryeh and Lilien (for example, in the Mizrach plate he designed, which depicted the Land of Israel as an Oriental land, magical and mythical – a land of sun and palm trees), with the Utopian image of the Land as an Oriental land of legendary wealth was very widespread in their works which were intended to “market” the Land of Israel in the Jewish diaspora and among tourists who visited for a limited time. The ‘Mizrach’ presented not only as the natural and original place of the people, but also as a place, in contrast to the gloomy climate in Europe, with an abundance of sun and agricultural yield. The aim of this type of work was to achieve a purpose beyond the realm of art: to increase interest in the Land of Israel among diaspora Jews and to encourage immigration, while diverting attention from the real difficulties which prevailed in the Land those years: drought, swamps, the Arab enemy, etc. The result was one-time monumental works such as this, which were of higher quality that those that preceded them and those that came after them.

Meir Gur-Aryeh [1891-1951] was a native of Russia, he completed his study of art in Russia, and after immigrating to the Land of Israel in 1913, he continued his studies at Bezalel. He established a studio called “Menorah” for practical art objects, with Ze’ev Raban and Shmuel Persov. In 1923, he opened a course called “Industrial Art Studio” which dealt mainly with graphic design, where this poster was designed. The fair for which this advertising poster was designed was organized by the Trade and Industry Company which was established by Tel Aviv entrepreneurs who saw unprecedented success in the form of tens of thousands then hundreds of thousands of Jews, Arabs, English and tourists visiting each year.
