    1949: Inauguration of Constituent Assembly, Essay for the 250 pr. 'Road to Jerusalem' issue, the original Artist's design (750 x 1000 mm.) but for 150 pr. value, in similar colours to the issued stamp painted on thick card with transparent overlay and further annotations in pencil, and hand-writted 'redeem Jerusalem' added. The frame lettering at top was also changed from this Essay. Minor imperfections as this was a working Proof and both signed and struck with artist's handstamp (G. Shamir). A wonderful and extremely rare Essay for the specialist. Cert. Tsachor (2016).
