    I found this last week at a local thrift store & wasn't sure about buying it until I googled it & could only find 1 available - at 'Farkash Gallery' for $1,800!

    The poster was made by well known Israel artist Eliezer Weishoff & I was only able to find the one mentioned above, but did find another - in French - at the Palestine Poster Project (archives), but they only have a digital version of that one.
    It was published by the World Zionist Organization, but when I clicked on that link it took me back to the Palestine Poster Project.

    What do I have? Is it worth that much, or is that just a gallery throwing a price on the wall to see if something will stick? (if it is that valuable I'd put mine up on eBay for 1/2 and hope it sells quickly!)

    Any help is greatly appreciated as always!

    The Palestine Poster Project collects posters from and about the old geographical region of Palestine, regardless of which state, political entity, or ethnic origin.
    That means that its collection includes works by Palestinian, Israeli, Israeli Palestinian, and other artists who made posters that pertain to the Palestinian region. So this poster fits right in.;)

    @Any Jewelry thank you for this. It will help me with some research. May I ask, when you say "collect," would they want the originals or the digital images?
