🗞️ HARPER'S WEEKLY · November 26, 1898 Complete Issue · New York ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A historically exceptional issue of the highest significance — eight photographs of the Second Zionist Congress in Basel including a portrait of Theodor Herzl and the Zionist Flag, published in what is documented as the first photographic coverage of a Zionist Congress ever printed. Combined with eight photographs of Pope Leo XIII, the triumphal insurgent parade in Manila, and eight scenes of Puerto Rico, this is an extraordinary primary document of four of the most consequential stories of 1898. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✡️ THE SECOND ZIONIST CONGRESS — A PRIMARY PHOTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📸 EIGHT PHOTOGRAPHS — "THE SECOND ZIONIST CONGRESS" — INCLUDING DR. THEODOR HERZL AND THE ZIONIST FLAG Eight photographs documenting the Second Zionist Congress held in Basel, Switzerland, August 28-31, 1898 — including a portrait of Dr. Theodor Herzl, the visionary founder of modern political Zionism, and a photograph of the Zionist Flag, the prototype of what would become the flag of the State of Israel in 1948. This Harper's Weekly coverage is documented by the Herzl Collection as containing the first photographs ever published of a Zionist Congress — no photographs were taken at the First Congress in 1897, making these eight images in Harper's Weekly the historic primary photographic record of the birth of organized Zionism. The Second Zionist Congress was a watershed moment: 400 delegates attended — twice the number at the First Congress — including the young Chaim Weizmann, who would later architect the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and become Israel's first President. The Congress established the Jewish Colonial Fund to finance Jewish settlement in Palestine, granted female delegates full voting rights (at the time, only New Zealand had done the same for women nationally), and saw the first appearance of Labor Zionist delegates. Herzl's opening statement declared: "We are ready to bring about the reconstruction of Judaism; we have everything in abundance, men, material and plans. What we require is the soil." Fifty years later, the State of Israel was established. This issue — with eight photographs of the Congress including Herzl's portrait and the Zionist Flag — is a primary document of one of the most consequential movements in modern world history, published in the movement's second year and at the moment of its photographic debut. An essential piece for any collection of Jewish history, Israeli history, and world history ephemera. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇵🇭 MANILA — INSURGENT TRIUMPH ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇵🇭 FULL FRONT PAGE — "TRIUMPHAL PARADE OF INSURGENT TROOPS IN MANILA" A dramatic full front-page illustration of Emilio Aguinaldo's Filipino insurgent forces parading triumphantly through Manila — a vivid primary document of the growing confrontation between American imperial authority and Filipino independence that would erupt into the Philippine-American War in February 1899. A significant piece of Philippine history and American imperial history. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✝️ POPE LEO XIII — EIGHT PHOTOGRAPHS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📸 TWO FULL PAGES — EIGHT PHOTOGRAPHS OF POPE LEO XIII Two full pages of eight photographs of Pope Leo XIII — the reforming pontiff who had issued the landmark encyclical Rerum Novarum in 1891, defining the Catholic Church's position on labor rights and social justice, and whose long pontificate (1878-1903) represented a significant modernization of the Church's engagement with the modern world. A significant piece of Catholic history and Victorian religious history. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇵🇷 PUERTO RICO — EIGHT PHOTOS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📸 FULL PAGE — "PUERTO RICO" — EIGHT PHOTOGRAPHS A full page of eight photographs of Puerto Rico under the new American administration — a comprehensive photographic documentary of the island and its people in the first weeks of American sovereignty. A significant primary photographic document of Puerto Rican history at its most pivotal moment. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 CONDITION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I photograph every page of every issue so you can inspect the condition closely before purchasing.
