Collection of Photographs – Arab Fighters in Jerusalem – Israeli War of Independence
Eight photographs of Arab fighters, most of them from the period of the War of Independence in Jerusalem. Jerusalem, Nablus (and elsewhere?), [ca. mid-late 1940s].
Including: a staged propaganda photograph – Arab snipers aiming their weapons at the western part of the city, on the backdrop of the Dome of the Rock; photograph of the funeral of Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni, the leader of the Arab forces in Jerusalem, at the Temple Mount Plaza; army officers and Arab residents around the ruins of the Semiramis Hotel (the hotel was bombed by the Haganah in January 1948); fighters of the Arab Liberation Army training on the hills near the headquarters of the commander of the army, Fawzi al-Qawuqji; and more.
Most of the photographs are numbered in the plate. One photograph is stamped on verso. Two photographs with a press information label (French), one noting that the photograph is from the episode "Palestine Problem" of the documentary film series "The March of Time" (this episode was shot in 1945).
Six large photographs (approx. 18X24 cm) and two small photographs (approx. 13X18 cm). Condition varies. Good-fair overall condition. The large photographs have traces of mounting on verso and some have traces of mounting and peelings on front (in the edges). A long tear to margin of one photograph, reinforced with tape.
