Le Pèlerin French Newspaper Covering General Allenby's Entrance into the Gates of Jerusalem
Le Pèlerin French newspaper from December 9, 1917 [the day the British conquered Jerusalem] covering General Allenby's entrance into Jerusalem, and the fall of Jerusalem into the hands of the British without a battle after the secret evacuation by the Ottomans.
The cover of the newspaper shows Allenby in military uniform [color lithograph print]. On the inside pages, there are photographs of Jerusalem as it was found by the British when they entered [mainly the area of the Old City], extensive articles about the British advance to Jerusalem after winning the battle over Be'er Sheva, and extensive coverage of the city of Jerusalem and its historic sites.
16 pages. Minimal aging stains, slight tears in the margins. Fine condition.
