British Propaganda Poster, in Three Languages – Allenby's Conquest of Jerusalem, 1917 – Arabic in Hebrew Letters
"The British and German war decrees, a comparison between the two of them". Place of printing and year not indicated, [ca. 1917]. English, French and Judeo-Arabic.
British propaganda poster printed after the conquest of Jerusalem in 1917. The poster shows the text of Edmund Allenby's official declaration of military rule after the occupation of Jerusalem on December 9, 1917 (in English), alongside the text of a declaration published by the Germans after their capture of Holnon, France, in 1915. The following text compares the two declarations, emphasizing the differences between them; mainly, it contrasts the benevolent and respectful attitude of British troops towards the inhabitants of captured Jerusalem with the attitude of the Germans to the residents of Holnon. On bottom, a Judeo-Arabic translation of the two declarations.
Two additional versions of the poster are known of, one in Arabic and the second in Tamil. Presumably, this poster was distributed during World War I in the areas occupied by the British Empire.
Approx. 48.5X75 cm. Good condition. Fold lines and some creases. Tears along edges and fold lines (not affecting text).
Provenance: The Rimon Family Collection.
