Haggadah Le-Leil Shimurim

Date: 1834    Country: Slovakia    City: Pressburg

This exceptionally rare miniature Haggadah was printed in the city of Pressburg (now known as Bratislava, capital of the Republic of Slovakia). Situated on the Danube River, Pressburg was a gateway into the Kingdom of Hungary. For this Haggadah published in the first year after the establishment of the printing house in Pressburg, Schmid commissioned a new series of five elaborate fold-out illustrations to ornament the volume.
