Ada Fishman: Di yidishe arbetorin-bavegung in Erets Yisroel, Warsaw: HeHalutz / Al-HaMishmar, 1931

An early use of the Haim typeface on the cover of a book by Ada Fishman on the Jewish Working Women’s Movement in Palestine. The book, originally written in Hebrew, was published in a Yiddish translation in Warsaw in 1931.

Following Yiddish orthography the typeface is set with diacritical marks (for letters used as vowels). For Mandatory Palestine the acronym א״י (Erets Yisroel) is used. In Yiddish (as in Hebrew) acronyms are formed with a double apostrophe called Gershayim.
