Six original hand prints in mixed media in a limited edition of 250 signed and numbered (this is no. 5). Item 3 of 6. Text from contents page: 'In 1957 the architect Eugene Rosenberg, who designed Jews' College, London, commissioned Bornfriend to paint a mural for the library of the college. He chose the Jewish festivals as the theme. This series is based on the ideas that Bornfriend dealt with in the mural.'
