PALESTINE – THE ARAB REBELLION – Press photographs. 1936-1939.
Large-format photographs of the Arab Rebellion, these good quality photographs show British troops guarding oil pipelines, armoured car patrols, searches of Arab suspects and their baggage, and Major-General R.N. O'Connor directing operations at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem. The Arab Rebellion's tactics of sabotaging bridges are depicted in two photographs, while others show the British response with checkpoints and fire positions. The huge military effort made by the British is encapsulated by shots of troops emplaning onto a huge biplane transport, and the 2nd Scots Guards embarking for Palestine at Southampton.
A group of 26 press photographs, dated 1936-1939, various sizes (largest 228 x 180mm, and smaller), most with typescript descriptions on versos, stamps and serial numbers of various British, American and French press agencies, together with five images of mounted Jewish Settlement Police ('Manim') by the noted photographer Walter Zadek (1900-1992), a caricature of George VI wearing a crown topped with the Star of David handing a naked Chaim Weizmann the Grand Mufti's head on a plate, and a typescript flyer (328 x 205mm) entitled 'Awake Humanity' issued by the Arab Revolutionary Council dated 29 October 1938 with cyclostyled signature of Arif Abdul-Razik, decrying British military and police operations (creasefolds).
