Signed and dated 1967 within the plate on the right, this impression is also hand-signed in pencil by Dalí in the lower right margin and numbered 159/250 on the lower left.

About the Artist:
Born in Figueres, Spain, in 1904, Salvador Dalí was a central figure of the Surrealist movement, renowned for his technical draftsmanship and dreamlike imagery. Beyond his iconic paintings, Dalí maintained an extensive printmaking practice throughout his career, collaborating with master printers to create thematic suites. In 1968, working from mixed-media gouache and watercolor studies completed in 1967, he produced the Aliyah series—twenty-five lithographs chronicling the Jewish journey from biblical history and exile to the establishment of modern Israel. Today, works from this historic suite are held in major public and private collections worldwide, including the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
