New map of Palestine showing the proposed U. N. boundaries of Israel -Jewish and Arab towns, villages and settlements, plans of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa, index of place names - under the guidance of Alexander Gross, London, 1948.
Color map in lithograph print presenting U. N. boundaries proposed by the U. N.'s UNSCOP committee for the partition of Israel west of the Jordan river into two states - Jewish and Arab, and an international zone. The official name of the plan is 'U. N. General Assembly Resolution 181' which was passed by a majority vote at the U. N. General Assembly on November 29, 1947. The plan was accepted by the Jewish Agency, which functioned as the de facto government of the yishuv, and was rejected by the Arab leadership in the Land. The plan was not fully implemented in practice, but its acceptance paved the way for the end of the British Mandate and the establishment of the State of Israel.
Size: 100x74 cm. Fold marks. Fine condition.
