Ashkenazic Passover Haggadah edited by Isaac Levi, one of the pioneers of Jewish printing in London.

The copperplate frontispiece in this Haggadah was originally published in the 1807 London Machzor, but a pastedown with the Haggadah title was placed in the middle of the page covering the original title.
