Lola (Leon Israel)

1888–1955

Leon Israel was born in Pinsk (today in Belarus) and immigrated to New York in 1905. He worked as a cartoonist and illustrator under the pen name Lola for the Yiddish daily Der morgn-zhurnal, the satirical weekly Der groyse kundes, and the daily Forverts. Lola also made paintings, etchings, and murals, mostly of the Lower East Side and Brooklyn immigrant life.
