About the artist:

Sol Schreibman is a New York commercial artist who found “religion” — the artistic merit of his Judaic heritage. Long a successful illustrator, he has recently turned to Judaic themes. His most common medium is “conde” pencil, which results in a finished effect something like charcoal or pen-and-ink drawings. Many of artist Schreibman’s renditions are of Israeli themes. He says he’s never been to the Jewish nation in the flesh, “but I feel as if I’d been there many times.” He has been to Europe and Africa as a soldier, and, interestingly, draws on photographs he took at the time of North African Jews in drawing features of the Oriental figures in his Israel illustrations.
