PALESTINE – LAW AND ORDER UNDER THE BRITISH MANDATE
Proclamation by the Officer Administering the Government. [Jerusalem:] 15 November 1945. Very large poster (625 x 700mm), royal coat-of-arms top-centre, text in three columns printed in Hebrew, English and Arabic. (Marginal dampstaining and soiling to top right-hand corner, short tear into coat-of-arms but without loss, tiny tear just affecting one numeral in the English date, a few other very minor marginal tears, minor restoration in places.)
VERY RARE POSTER, REFLECTING THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT’S POSITION ON ARAB AND ZIONIST TERRORISM IN THE LAST DAYS OF MANDATE. The proclamation warns of life imprisonment for possession of arms and of the death sentence for the carrying of weapons. Inciting civil disorder, armed resistance to government forces or vandalism and theft of government property will be dealt with in the severest possible manner. By 1939, the British authorities had managed to suppress the Arab revolt in Palestine, while during the Second World War, Zionist groups suspended operations against the British in support of the war against Germany. However, towards the end of 1944, Jewish militant groups such as Lehi (who assassinated Lord Moyne, British minister of state in the Middle East, in Cairo in November 1944) and Irgun started to actively target the British authorities, while Haganah attacked the British anti-immigration programme. Elements of the Arab revolt were still at large too (see lot xxx), and the British felt pressurized enough to publish this proclamation. EXTREMELY RARE: WE ARE UNABLE TO TRACE ANY OTHER COPIES AT AUCTION.
