I was just pointed to this today -
- London : Beaconsfield Press, [1940]
What's interesting about this is that it's a proof copy and has material that wasn't published. I highlighted that but am told that some images of Hitler were also removed.
BM675.P4 Z55689 1940 Proof. [52] sheets (in portfolio ; 41 cm.). The sheets (of various sizes, but mounted uniformly) are proofs of the illuminated proof pages containing the Hebrew text, with Szyk's holograph instructions to the printer. Two of the sheets are dedication leaves to the people of Poland and to the people of Germany apparently intended for editions (or issues of this edition) that were never published because of Germany's invasion of Poland. A third sheet is a portion of a subscription form. On spine of portfolio : Haggadah; Arthur Szyk; London, Beaconsfield Press, 1939; The set of proofs.
Happy Passover this coming weekend!
