This is a page out of a fascinating collection of posters, photographs and clippings all from the history of Israel. The upper left Uncombed Joshua or “Yehoshua ha Parooah” was the main character in a song my family would repeatedly sing about me as a kid. My brother found the image and sent it to me.
The song goes (translation):
Yehoshua ha Parooah (Uncombed Joshua)
Cherlie ka cherlie (random sounds)
Hoo kofetz al ha aytzeem (He jumps from tree to tree)
Cherlie ka cherlie
Hoo Noten la Grover (He gives Grover (first dog))
Nisheekah ba behten (a kiss on the stomach)
La la la la la la la,
Cherlie ka cherlie
Check out the pdf of all the prints and posters. It’s very nationalistic and simultaneously playful.
