Extensive scrapbook of newspaper clippings and photographic illustrations, with manuscript entries alongside. Recounting the almost daily rush of events occurring in and around Eretz Israel / Palestine leading up to Statehood. Entirely in English.
pp. 163 (excluding blanks). Original boards, worn. Folio.
1945-49.
The owner of this scrapbook (seemingly, female) recounts the tumultuous events in Palestine from the years 1945-49. Aside from newspaper clippings, also included are her own original photographs. The compiler likely lived in Palestine and often provides here her own narrative account of events. Her tone is British, but her sympathies are emphatically Zionist.
