A portfolio of 20 lithographic drawings of scenes in Jerusalem, drawn by Saul Raskin, has become part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, according to a statement issued by N. W. Kent on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Museum. Mr. Raskin, who has recently returned from Palestine, had devoted himself to drawing not only Jewish types in Jerusalem, but had also made considerable reproductions of synagogues, and street scenes, all of which have been included in the portfolio.
Another copy of the same portfolio has been acquired by the New York Public Library. Various other drawings of Jewish interest by the artist have been acquired by the Jewish Theological Seminary, the Library of Hebrew Union College of Cincinnati, and the library of the Y. M. H. A. of Newark.
