<br/><br/> Abraham Frumkin (1873-1940) belongs to that very particular family grouping characterised by its affinity with Palestine and Zionist traditions (having been born himself in Eretz Israel-Palestine); his father Dov had an outstanding career as a journalist in the Yishouv and his brother Gad was appointed judge at the Supreme Court in 1920. Abraham left the fold of the family and his homeland to settle in England and later in America. An anarchic militant, he became acquainted with Bernard Lazare in Paris during one of his numerous visits there during the Dreyfus Affair and it is this portrait, which he sketched in Yiddish, that Nathan Weinstock has translated and annotated.
