I have answered Daniel Lilien directly, but in my further searches
found through Google, information about the artist Ephraim Moshe Lilien,
which is of interest to Czernowitz and Sadagora researchers.
this is part of an article by Adrian Yekkes:
"Born Maurycy Lilien in Drohobycz, Galicia, then part of the Austro-
Hungarian Empire....
apprenticed as a sign painter before developing a desire to paint
pictures...
as this was such a strange idea for a young man from a small town,
the Rabbi of Sadagura was consulted on this matter and advised
that he be allow to pursue his ambition."
Drohobycz, Galicia is close to Lviv and about 100 miles from
Czernowitz and Sadagora.
