1920218041920. Early views of life under British colonial rule in Mandatory Palestine. 1920s photo archive consisting of 12 silver gelatin photographs measuring around 3.5" x 2.5" each. Circa 1920s. An evocative and unusually varied visual archive from 1920s Mandatory Palestine this collection captures everyday life and social hierarchies during the British occupation of the Levant. Taken during a critical era following the fall of the Ottoman Empire and before the full thrust of Zionist settlement these images offer rare glimpses of Palestinian Arab communities-including women clerics children merchants and street workers-across both rural and urban landscapes. Several photos appear to depict scenes in and around Jerusalem including a striking street portrait of an elder man in traditional Arab dress with a keffiyeh and striped abaya standing beside a fez-capped official or guard in front of a stone façade possibly in the Old City. Another image shows a procession of clergy and camel handlers near what appears to be a medieval gate or fortress wall-indicative of pilgrimage traffic or religious observance with camels loaded for transport. A powerful composition captures three women in dark veils and flowing garments speaking beneath a tree with rural hills and a village in the distance.<br /> Street life and labor are emphasized in one image where a young boy and several veiled women draw water at a stone cistern; one woman balances a large vessel on her head her face and body almost entirely obscured. A separate print shows a group of women-some in Western dress and hats others in religious garb-posing together at the edge of a sea or lake possibly near Tiberias or the Sea of Galilee. . Another photograph depicts a group of men in keffiyehs and Western suits gathered in what may be a town square-possibly Amman or Ramleh-with modern construction visible in the background illustrating the mixing of colonial infrastructure and traditional society. Photographs of Mandatory Palestine from this transitional decade-between Ottoman defeat and the Arab Revolt -are increasingly rare especially those depicting ordinary Palestinians rather than military or Zionist institutions. Very good condition overall. unknown

A pamphlet and a gathering of mimeographed sheets 1940s - 1950s; pamphlet - 8 x 5 1/4; pp. 6; illustrated with photographs; stapled mimeographed sheets - 14 x 8 1/2; pp. 8 text to recto only; minor wear and creasing and light age-toning - in very good condition. The American Palestine Committee was founded in 1932 as a political lobby group with the aim of influencing American policy towards establishing a Jewish national homeland in Palestine. It would later merge with the Christian Council on Palestine to become the American Christian Palestine Committee in 1946. By that time its members numbered over 15 000 many of them prominent American figures. In the 1950s after the successful creation of Israel in 1948 the organization felt its work was done and it ceased to exist. The pamphlet presented its history and goals while the mimeographed document contained a list of films from the organization's lending library which depicted various phases of Israel's birth and growth.

1923181603London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1923 but 1924. Lines in the sand First trade edition one of 250 copies of the text of the Paulet-Newcombe Agreement including three maps delineating the newly agreed Palestine-Syrian border. The agreement was signed in March 1923 a few months before the Britain's Palestine mandate came into force. Whitehall was represented in the Anglo-French negotiations by Lieutenant-Colonel Stewart Francis Newcombe 1878-1956 a close wartime associate of Lawrence of Arabia who is cited frequently in Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Newcombe was commissioned into the Royal Engineers in 1898 and transferred into the Egyptian Army in 1901. Shortly before the outbreak of war he travelled to southern Palestine in the company of Lawrence and Leonard Woolley to complete a secret survey for the British government - "this initial encounter with Lawrence set up a lifelong friendship between the professional soldier and the young scholar-archaeologist. Newcombe's extraordinary exploits and courage coupled with an inexhaustible supply of energy made him a legend in the desert causing the Arabs to complain that 'Newcombe is like fire he burns friend and enemy'" ODNB. In 1935 he was one of the six pallbearers at Lawrence's funeral. According to the printer's slug the agreement was first published in July 1923 in the Parliamentary Papers series. Octavo pp. 16.

Beautiful album with 128 photographs of Egypt and Palestine present day Israel and the West Bank during the British Mandate. It was likely compiled by a British soldier who was stationed in the Middle East during the 1940s. Some of the photographs are numbered in the negative and may have been made by important photographers active in the area at the time like G. Eric Matson and his wife Edith the founders of the Matson Photo Service. The images show Cairo and various locations in Palestine including Jerusalem Bethlehem Nazareth Tiberias Sea of Galilee Nathanya Tel Aviv the Jordan river Haifa Beirut and the Dead Sea. Other than important locations like churches and gates the photographs also show many locals including for example street barbers in Cairo shepherds and farmers in Palestine and beautifully dressed women in Haifa. In the back of the work a few dried leaves from local plants have been mounted namely orange lemon fig eucalyptus grapevine and mulberry. The eucalyptus leaf still retains some of its scent.The edges and vorners of the boards are somewhat scuffed with some loss of material at the head and foot of the spine and around the edges of the embedded aluminium plate. The photographs mounted on the inside of the front board are slightly stained the fig leaf mounted on one of the final pages is damaged and the cyprus leaf is missing.
