An open message to Yossi Galron:
All of the answers to my question advised me that Ben Shahn never
illustrated Pirke Avot but Saul Raskin did. To have my problem solved
within one day was a miracle and I thank Yossi for making Hasafran
possible. A Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year to us all.
Ben Shahn did illustrate The Alphabet of Creation, a
story from the Zohar about how G-d chose the letter
Bet to begin creation (B'reshis). Perhaps that's what
your patron remembered.

Perhaps she is thinking of the illustrated pirke avot of Saul Raskin,
available from http://blochpub.com/page21.html.

A library patron asked me to find out where she could buy a copy of Pirke
Avot illustrated by Ben Shahn. She says she used to have one. I have
tried every avenue I know to find it and I have not succeeded and I wonder
if there ever was such a book.
If you know the answer please let me know.
