46 photographs of Jerusalem, its people and surroundings, [ca. 1930s]. Unknown photographer, maybe Ze'ev Alexandrovich (1905-1992).
The photographs depict sites around Jerusalem, the Arab inhabitants (numerous photographs, including photographs of a Pita vendor, women carrying baskets on their head, washers in a spring, shoe shiner, porters and more), two Haredi Jews in the street, worshippers at the Western Wall, and more. The photographs are numbered on the reverse, but are not signed. Comparing these photographs with the subjects and styles of photographs in the collection of Zeev Alexandrovich in the National Library of Israel, leads to the assumption that these photographs were also taken by Alexandrovich.
Average size: 8.5X13 cm. Good condition. Glue remnants and some stains on the reverse. Numbered in pen on the reverse.
