Road to Mt. Zion (1974), 3 Color

14"x18" 3 color edition of 100 pcs 

"The viewer is standing on Mount Zion and is looking over the 'Pools of Solomon' towards New Jerusalem. Jerusalem stirs me as few places in the world do, named The City of Peace." It has seldom enjoyed it - even though it is central to three of the world's largest religions. One walks on the same path that David, Solomon, and Jesus. There, I can feel man's positive place on earth." E.S.

In 1978, Menachem Begin visited NYC and was a guest of Mayor Koch at Gracie Mansion. Menachem's room was decorated with two paintings - Jerusalem and the Scholar. When Begin left N.Y., he was presented with this lithograph-Road to Mt. Zion as a gift from the city of N.Y. The Lithograph was pulled as a Black and White edition, 3 color edition, Hand colored and sepia. The 3 color edition was planned as 150 pieces but only 100 were pulled.
