Two Photographs – Coffin of Theodor Herzl in the Great Synagogue in Vienna
Two photographs documenting the coffin of Theodor Herzl and those of his family in the Great Synagogue in Vienna (Stadttempel Synagogue), [1949].
The photographs portray a group of visitors in the great synagogue in Vienna by the coffins of Theodor Herzl, his parents and his sister. Both photographs are stamped on the back with ink-stamp of the photographer Franz Votava (Vienna).
Prior to Herzl's burial in Israel, in 1949, his coffin and the coffins of his family were placed in front of the ark in the great synagogue in Vienna and hundreds of Viennese Jews paid final respect to the family.
18X13 cm. Good condition. Slight defects. Small tear at margins of one photograph.
