An interesting 19th-century example of Ashkenazic Passover Haggadah, with commentary by Moses Alscheich, Maharal (Yehuda Loew ben Bezalel) and Shlomo Ephraim Luntschitz.

Illustrated with copperplate engravings from the 1695 Amsterdam Haggadah by Abraham bar Jacob (Avraham son of Yaakov Hager). Among the illustrations are the famous thirteen-panel depiction of the stages of the Seder and the ten-panel depiction of the plagues of Egypt.

Anton Schmid was a Christian publisher of Hebrew books, who benefited greatly from the 1800 ordinance prohibiting the import of Hebrew books by Jews (who were themselves excluded from the publishing business). He employed a number of Jewish typesetters and proofreaders, mainly from Galicia, who were granted special residence permits in Vienna. Schmid issued a number of printings of the Haggadah using, like here, Abraham's delicately engraved popular illustrations.

4to (26 x 20 cm); printed title within decorative typographic border; double column Hebrew, Ladino and Aramaic text, 11 engraved illustrations in the text, most half-page, some a little larger; modern contemporary-style calf-backed marbled boards, spine gilt in compartments, with black label, lettered in English in gilt; expected wine stains and other signs of ritual use. 52 ll.
