The author writes: "To me the Book of Psalms was a sweet dream to join with my pictorial accompaniment the other instruments of the Psalmists, the cymbals, organs and harps in praising the Lord, praising Him with my brush, engraver's needle, pen and pencil. The dream is now a reality." Raskin was born in Nogaysk, Russia. At the age of 15 he studied lithography in Odessa and later attended art academies in Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland. After emigrating to the United States in 1904 he became a multifaceted artist and produced etchings, paintings, watercolors and even cartoons. He became a noteworthy illustrator of Jewish subjects and was also a lecturer, writer and teacher. His work has been exhibited in the US and in Israel.USPS media mail shipping to continental US only
