Fifteen aerial photographs of Jerusalem and its surroundings. [ca. 1930s-1940s; one later photograph].
Among the photographs: • Photograph of a village in the surroundings of Jerusalem; taken during the flight of the airship Graf Zeppelin above Palestine in 1931 (captioned in print, in German). • Two press photographs of a Hawker Hart airplane above Jerusalem. One of the photographs is dated with a stamp to 1936; the press information note on its verso indicates that the airplane was used for distributing British broadsides. • Six photographs stamped on verso "Photo Keren Hayesod"; two of them depict the Temple Mount and the Old City of Jerusalem and one of them depicts the Rockefeller Museum (ca. late 1930s). They were possibly taken by Zoltán Kluger, who worked as an aerial photographer for Keren Hayesod. • Photograph by Fred Csaznik. • Photograph of the Temple Mount by Shmuel Yosef Schweig (signed with the photographer's stamp on verso); taken, presumably, after the Six-Day War.
Approx. 10.5X14.5 cm to 30X25 cm. Condition varies.
