Wallish was a Jewish Czech graphic designer, who studied at the Vienna Art Academy, and later opened his own design firm in Prague. He originally used the German spelling of his name, Wallisch, but after moving to Israel, adopted the English transliteration of his name in Hebrew - "Wallish." He was responsible for the calligraphy and design of the scroll for Israel's Declaration of Independence, based on the calligraphy style from a 16th century Torah scroll. Wallish also had his hand in designs for Israeli stamps, coins, banknotes and medallions, as well as many posters.
