Jacob Wexler Haggadah

My mom recently sent me this gorgeous Haggadah that my safta Neima gave to her. It was published by Hatzvi Publishers in Tel-Aviv in the 1960's. The lettering is done by Haim Gamzu and the artwork is by the famous Israeli artist Jacob Wexler. I can't do it justice with words, so just feast your eyes on these amazing spreads:
