Rare Photograph of the Second High Commissioner for Palestine, Herbert Plumer
Photograph of the High Commissioner on an official visit. In the photograph, Plumer is standing beside a group of people.
Lord Herbert Plumer was the High Commissioner for Palestine during the years 1925-1928. During this period it was relatively peaceful in the country after the Jaffa Riots (1921) and before the 1929 Palestine Riots. His contribution to keeping this peace was significant and his attitude to the Jewish settlement was fair. During the economic crisis of 1927, he gave the Yishuv economic support. He retained his neutrality in his attitude towards Jews and Arabs alike.
12x16 cm.
Condition: Very Good. Small stains at the side.
