ONE OF THE RAREST POSTER THAT PRINTED IN THE LATE 1930S IN ERETZ ISRAEL BY THE DOBEK COMPANY

DOBEK COMPANY THAT RELEASED AN ALBUM WITH HUNDREDS OF PHOTOS OF THE DEFENDERS OF THE HOMELAND. HUNDREDS OF PHOTOS OF ATHLETES FROM ERETZ ISRAEL. THIS IS THE STORY OF A RARE AND UNUSUAL ALBUM
BUT IT WAS NOT THE JEWISH AGENCY THAT RELEASED THE RARE ALBUM FROM THE LATE 1930S. NEITHER IT WAS KEREN HAYESOD NOR THE KKL-JNF; THE ONE WHO COLLECTED AND COLLECTED THE RARE PHOTOS WAS DOVEK, THE OLD BLUE-AND-WHITE CIGARETTE COMPANY.

IN THE YEARS BEFORE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE, LONG BEFORE THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH DETERMINED THAT SMOKING WAS HARMFUL TO HEALTH AND THAT THIS SHOULD BE NOTED ON EVERY PACK, THE CIGARETTE COMPANY DOVEK RELEASED AN ALBUM TO COLLECT STICKERS CALLED “GUARD AND SPORTS”. THE CAPTIONS OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS INDICATE THAT THE “CAMPAIGN” TOOK PLACE IN THE EARLY 1940S (THE PHOTOGRAPHS DEAL WITH THE PERIOD OF THE EVENTS OF 1936-1939, BUT ON THE AGENDA: WORLD WAR II)
“GUARD AND SPORT, SERIOUSNESS AND PLAY, SEEMINGLY TWO OPPOSING CONCEPTS, ARE NEVERTHELESS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE MOST SUBLIME AND SUBLIME QUALITIES OF MAN AND PEOPLE: HEROISM AND FREEDOM, POWER AND REDEMPTION, COURAGE AND HONOR,” READS THE OPENING OF THE ALBUM.
GUARD AND SPORTS
AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR “DOBEK” THAT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE PRESS WITH THE RELEASE OF THE PHOTO ALBUM, 1939
AND FURTHER:

“THE MISHMAR VESPORT” PHOTO COLLECTION INTENDS TO MAKE A SMALL CONTRIBUTION TO PROMOTING THE IDEA OF ​​PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN THE COMMUNITY, AND TO ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO CREATE THE NECESSARY MEANS FOR THE YOUTH TO CULTIVATE SPORTS. THE MISHMAR PHOTOS ARE A SMALL ATTEMPT TO SHOW THE COMMUNITY “WITH THEIR GREAT DEDICATION AND COURAGE, THEY PROTECT THE LIVES OF ALL OF US AND THE FREEDOM OF THE PEOPLE.”
PICTURES OF “DEFENDERS OF THE HOMELAND”

FROM THE NEWSPAPERS THAT CAME OUT THAT YEAR, WE LEARN ABOUT THE PROCESS: DOBEK COLLECTED PHOTOS FROM THE ERETZ ISRAEL AUDIENCE, AND IN RETURN GAVE THEM THE ALBUM SHE MADE FROM THE PHOTOS. THESE PHOTOS WERE ATTACHED TO DOVEK’S VARIOUS CIGARETTE BOXES, AND AT THE END OF THE PROCESS, AS MENTIONED, THEY WERE COMPILED INTO A PRESTIGIOUS AND ELEGANT PHOTO ALBUM.
“MICKEY HERSCHEL, WHOSE TRAINED BODY SHOWS A RICH MUSCULAR SYSTEM”,

IT’S A BIT STRANGE THAT A CIGARETTE COMPANY IS THE FIRST TO ENCOURAGE PHYSICAL EDUCATION, OR MAYBE IT’S NOT STRANGE AT ALL, SINCE THE DOBEK COMPANY WAS A SYMBOL OF A THRIVING INDUSTRY IN BLUE AND WHITE, AT A TIME WHEN THE HARMS OF SMOKING WERE ONLY PARTIALLY KNOWN. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE PEOPLE OF THE SETTLEMENT COULD SMOKE AN “ALIYAH” CIGARETTE AND THUS SYMBOLIZE THE GROUPING OF THE EXILES TO ERETZ ISRAEL, OR A CIGARETTE ON THE MORNING OF THE “ATID” BRAND, WHICH SYMBOLIZES THE VISION OF ZIONISM EMBROIDERING SKIN AND TENDONS IN ERETZ ISRAEL.

“IF THE BOOK BEFORE US HELPS TO AROUSE AND DEEPEN IN THE COMMUNITY ALL ITS AVENUES THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE GREAT VALUE OF SPORTS EDUCATION,” READS THE LAST PAGE OF THE ALBUM, “AND IF IT SUCCEEDS IN PROVING TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THE DIRECT AND STRONG CONNECTION BETWEEN THE PURPOSE OF HIS AMBITION AND THEREBY CONTRIBUTED HIS PART IN SOLVING THE GREAT AND DIFFICULT ROLES THAT STILL LIE WITH US. ”
PHOTOS OF “ATTACK AND DEFENSE”

ONE CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE YOUNG NOTARY OR THE GIFTED JEWISH ATHLETE, CONCLUDING AN HOUR OF PHYSICAL TRAINING OR GUARDING THE TOWER BY SMOKING A “DOBEK” CIGARETTE – TO THE GLORY OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

The post GAURD & SPORT ONE OF THE RAREST POSTER THAT PRINTED IN THE LATE 1930S IN ERETZ ISRAEL BY THE DOBEK COMPANY first appeared on VINTAGE ISRAELI POSTERS.

Almost 140 years have passed since the first harvest of Carmel Wineries, the oldest winery in Israel, which once employed three future prime ministers in their youth. This one-of-a-kind sign.

Designed in the studio of Zeev Raban and Meir Gur-Arie. Published by Alfred Saltzman, Jerusalem, 1920s  English and Arabic text.
The winery was established in Rishon LeZion by its first settlers, with the financial assistance of Baron de Rothschild. It provided employment for many from the first and second aliyah, including David Ben-Gurion. The story of Carmel Wineries intertwines with the history of settlement in the Land of Israel, reflecting the dreams and efforts of the first aliyah settlers who, driven by an unwavering love for the Land of Israel, to create a thriving Zionist enterprise.

————————————————————————————————————————

Ze’ev Raban (1890-1970) and Meir Gur-Arie (1891-1951)

In the 1920s and 1930s, Raban and Gur-Arie were the central figures in the art and graphic design in Israel. Among their personal works, they created famous symbols for many Zionist organizations (such as KKL and the Levant Fair) and commercial “Tozeret Haaretz” companies in various sectors and industries. To this day, they are considered as masters and pioneers of Israeli art and education. Their works are essential parts of the permanent collections in many museums in Israel, such as the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, the Tel Aviv Museum, and many private collections worldwide.

“Carmel Mizrachi”

The winery was established in Rishon LeZion by its first settlers, with the financial assistance of Baron de Rothschild and the guidance of his officials, and began producing wine in 1890. The local wine market in Israel was small, and in 1896 a company was established to export the wines around the world. The first export destination was Warsaw, where a joint-stock company called “Carmel” was founded, branches were also opened in Odessa, Hamburg, and New York, and representations in Berlin, Vienna and London. For kosher reasons, the bottles were sent abroad sealed and sealed, and the distribution companies in the various cities were in contact with local rabbis, who supervised the wine’s kosher.

A few years later, the wines began to be marketed in the Ottoman Empire as well, under the name “Carmel Oriental”, and the wineries in Rishon Lezion and Zichron Ya’akov were called in Hebrew “Carmel Mizrahi”. The company operated branches in major cities in the Ottoman Empire: Jaffa, Jerusalem, Haifa, Beirut, Damascus, Cairo, Alexandria, Port Said, and other cities, and besides producing and distributing kosher wine, it also marketed brandy, various liqueurs, and soft drinks, such as tonic water.

Alfred Salzmann, one of the pioneers of Jewish settlement in the Bekaa neighborhood (“Gaolim”) in Jerusalem, and a teacher at “Bezalel” immigrated to the Land of Israel from Austria in 1921, and established a factory in the Bekaa for the production of various tin products, including charity donations boxes and tin boxes for KKL, sealed boxes for medicines and bandages, boxes for biscuits (for the well-known Fromin and Hadar factories), and advertising signs, such as the sign in front of us.

The post Extremely rare advertising tin sign for “Carmel Mizrahi” designed by Zeev Raban and Meir Gur-Arie, 1920s first appeared on VINTAGE ISRAELI POSTERS.

This poster won the painters’ competition in 1929. The poster was designed in black and orange with an exaggerated lettering. There is a successful connection between East and West – the influences from abroad (Russian avant-garde, masks, the fashionable woman’s haircut and the man with the tuxedo) with the Jewish and local elements – Purim costumes, the palms, the balcony building from the young city facing the sea, and most importantly – the huge sun And the orange shining in the background.

WIKI
Adloyada (Hebrew: עדלאידע or עדלידע, lit. “Until one no longer knows”) is a humorous procession held in Israel on the Jewish holiday of Purim (or in Shushan Purim the second day of Purim, commanded to be celebrated in “walled cities”, nowadays only in Jerusalem).

The Adloyada parade is a tradition dating back to the early days of Tel Aviv, in 1912. During the days of the Yishuv, the Adloyada was a mass event; it was resumed after the state of Israel was established.

The name is derived from the rabbinic saying in the Talmud that one should revel on Purim by drinking “until one no longer knows” (ad de-lo yada, Aramaic: עַד דְּלָא יָדַע) the difference between “blessed be Mordecai” and “cursed be Haman”.

Poster History-

Back in the late 30s in the years before the establishment of the state, long before the Ministry of Health determined that smoking was harmful to health and that this should be noted on every pack, Dobek company released an unusual sticker collecting album – each pack of Dobek Cigarettes contains a sticker photo, hundreds of photos of the ‘defenders’ of the homeland and athletes from Eretz Israel.

Surprisingly, the endeavor to collect and release the album was not initiated by any Jewish agencies like Keren Hayesod or KKL-JNF. Dobek, the old blue-and-white cigarette company, solely perceived the significance of these photos and spearheaded the initiative.

From Photo to Poster by Franz Kraus

During the making of this remarkable album, Dobek enlisted the expertise of the famous graphic designer, Franz Kraus, known for his talent in creating posters characterized by their realistic imagery derived from photographs. His posters were distinguished by their sharp contrast between light and shadow, vibrant colors, and dynamic compositions. In light of the upcoming Near East festival, Dobek approached Kraus and entrusted him with the task of designing two posters based on photos from the album. The resulting posters stand as enduring testaments to Kraus’s exceptional skill, admired even to this day as some of his most captivating and powerful works.
