"Almanshurat Alcharbia Albritania Walalmania Makarna Bin Antantin Manha" – poster on the occupation of Jerusalem by the British. [ca. 1917]. English, French and Arabic written in Hebrew script.
The poster is printed with the official declaration of Edmund Allenby of a military regime after the occupation of Jerusalem, in English, alongside a broadside published by the Germans after occupying the city of Holnon, France, in 1915. Beneath the two broadsides is a paragraph clarifying and emphasizing the differences between them, particularly the positive attitude of the British occupiers compared to that of the Germans with respect to the native residents of Holnon. At the bottom of the poster is a translation of the two broadsides to Arabic in Hebrew script.
