PALESTINE — SCOTT, Robert (Acting Chief Secretary). Proclamation by the Officer Administering the Government. Jerusalem: 15 November 1945.
Rare poster illustrating the British reaction to armed rebellion against Mandatory rule. It outlaws possession or carrying of arms and explosives, incitement to violence, and armed resistance. The penalty for possession of arms is stated as being life imprisonment, while that for carrying is the death sentence. The situation the British faced in 1945 was so grave, that Robert Scott was assigned three bodyguards (one policeman, and two bedouin). In a letter to his mother after the end of the Second World War, Scott stated: 'It is a very astringent thought that reversion to peacetime conditions means in Palestine a return of the pre-war conditions of gangsterism but this time it is the Jews and they are much more efficient' (quoted in Hoffman, p. 220).
Very large poster (635 x 704mm), royal coat-of-arms top-centre, text in three columns printed in Hebrew, English and Arabic (small marginal chip to top-right hand edge and a few other closed tears and creases expertly repaired, a few scattered spots, a little faint soiling).
