Seven press photographs from the period of the Great Arab Revolt. Hebron, Jerusalem and other locations, 1936-1939.
The photographs show, among other things: Jewish farmers attempting to extinguish fires started by arson in the Jezreel Valley in 1936; British riflemen returning fire at Arab rioters in Jerusalem’s Old City in 1936; The home of the British governor of the city of Hebron safeguarded with sandbags, 1938; Barclays Bank branch in Hebron after an attack in 1938; a line of Jewish Notrim marching on Mount Carmel, in 1939; and more.
The photographs are ink-stamped on the back with different stamps, and information notes for the press (English) are pasted on six of them. A newspaper clipping with the article alongside which the photograph was published is pasted on the back of one of the photographs.

One photograph has a long tear at the edge (reinforced with adhesive tape); and another photograph has a (small) note in ink in the margin. One of the photographs is partially colored.
