Inside cover of vintage Hagaddah - I have uploaded the cover too to ViewMate. I would love to learn anything at all about its origins. Will upload back of booklet too. Thank you.

Illustration and writing [or manuscript] by David Gilbo'a. [or Gilboa] דוד גלבוע Published by Anavi Ltd.

There are many illustrated books of his in the National Library of Israel - but most of the info is in Hebrקw.

It looks like some of his Hadagadot were illustrated to be given away by commercial companies - a bank, a snack company.... when there are dates, they're 1960's and that's apparently what the librarians guessed at when there were none. The one published by Anavi is guessed to be 1968. https://www.nli.org.il/en/books/NNL_ALEPH990020865220205171/NLI
Unfortunately, not images of the cover.
If you click on the book's "Location" you can request a scan, but that involves a fee.
