James Bond 'Dr. No' Original Vintage Movie Poster, Yugoslavian, 1962
Located in Devon, GB
Based on Ian Fleming's novel of the same name, the 1962 release of 'Dr. No' first introduced the world to one of the most enduring characters in Western cinema and kicked off one of the most successful film franchises of all time.

Based on a design by David Chasman, illustrator Mitchell Hooks...

Late 19th Century Ottoman Empire Silver Megillah Case and Esther Scroll
Located in New York, NY
The book of Esther is known as the only Bible book, besides the Song of Songs, that does not explicitly mention God. In this Megillah it seems that the sofer (the Jewish scribe of religious writings) was determined to show that the name of God does appear in the text, thus he accented in bold various letters from the text, which combined will read as various names of God. The scribe has also added small pointing hand symbols to the first column, to guide the reader to finding the ‘hidden message’.
Manuscript on vellum, text arranged in 20 lines, housed in an elaborately silver container of impressive and extraordinary handwork with a handle for rolling the Megillah up in the container. Silver filigree work of vegetation and flowers. The Megillah case...
