'Tower over Acre', originally made in 1954 was used as the cover of Jacob Pins 'Landscapes [Woodcuts]', published by The Dvir Publishing Co. in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 1955. In his introduction to this volume, Eugene Kolb, Director of The Tel Aviv Museum, observed how these landscapes are 'striking witnesses' to the artist's 'talent. Here [...] concentrated on one single subject, the landscape of Israel', which he commended for offering 'an original interpretation' of the subject. This work was also used as the invite for the invitation to the opening of the exhibition 'Woodcuts and Colour Prints Jacob Pins (Israel)' on 13 September 1955 at Ben Uri Gallery, 14 Portman Street, London.
