This haggadah was illustrated by LOLA, a pseudonym for the artist Leon Israel (1887-1955). Leon Israel was a cartoonist for the Jewish Daily Forward and was also the major original artistic contributor to the weekly Groyser Kundes, the popular satirical magazine in the Yiddish language (published in New York, 1909-27). Israel was born in Pinsk, Russia and came to the USA in 1905. He was a highly regarded artist in the fields of Jewish art, theatrical productions and newspaper circles.
