Detailed
Description		    Beautifully executed certificate in multiple colors for distribution to generous donors by the joint campaigns the Ez Hayyim Yeshiva and Bikkur Holim Hospital in Jerusalem. The text is within architectural frames with scenes of Erez Israel within the frame. The broadside appears to have been executed by the famous Monson Press, who introduced lithography to the country in 1867 with German presses. The languages utilized suggest that this broadside was printed for the American donor. The certificate is dated [5]66_ making it current for the period 1900-09.
