PALESTINE - 1936-1939 ARAB REBELLION
PALESTINE - 1936-1939 ARAB REBELLION Photograph album, Palestine and the Transjordan, c.1936, containing 260 photographs (most 65 x 90mm), 45 of these from the 1936 revolt, the majority with typed descriptions pasted in, 24 leaves , oblong large 4to (210 x 265mm ), (9 of the photographs not original). Imitation reptile (extremities rubbed, joints heavily). UNUSUAL IMAGES OF THE START OF THE ARAB REBELLION IN 1936, apparently compiled by a member of the North Staffordshire Regiment. The album starts with innocuous souvenir shots of the Royal Family, but soon reveals its true nature with an Arab boy brandishing a sword during a demonstration, British armoured cars, Jewish onlookers examining the scene of an attack on a bus, British barricades, and destroyed and burning houses. There are a number of photographs of Jewish colonists 'taken while on outpost', as well as of British cruisers and submarines in Haifa harbour during the 1936 disturbances. The pièce de résistance are four photographs taken from a roof top of a British riot squad facing down an Arab demonstration, the dispersal of the crowd and the body of a demonstrator lying on the ground surrounded by the debris of confrontation.
