The cemetery of the community, which was situated on the Fischerfeld, and which is still in existence, is mentioned for the first time in 1300, but a tombstone dated July, 1272, has been preserved.
When Frankfort was besieged during the interregnum in 1552, a garrison with cannon was stationed in the cemetery, and an attempt was even made to force the Jews to sink the tombstones and to level the ground; but against this they protested successfully (July 15, 1552).
But the most flourishing period in the history of Hebrew typography in Frankfort was the first quarter of the eighteenth century.

Full-page photographs, all in arty fl-and-white, are woven into the narrative, and typography is at times deployed toward pictorial ends.
At the opposite extreme, Page 284 is so crowded with words printed on top of words that you cannot decipher them, except as a vertical slab of fl, a tombstone of type, or perhaps (like the photograph on Page 318) a velvety night sky.
The book also includes a dozen or so grainy newslike photographs that risk offense by appropriating the image of a body falling from the towers — albeit a digitally simulated image — for artistic gain.
