IN HEBREW. RARE richly illustrated monograph on 250 residents of Jerusalem in 1946, all of them the cream of Jerusalem society and telephone owners, which in these times was a luxury that only few could afford.

Over 700 color and b&w photographs. 270x210mm. 392 pages. Illustrated Softcover. [CONDITION:] Cover, spine and page edges very slightly dirty. Dedication from previous owner written in pen on whitepage upper corner, with a few tiny ink spots transferred to opposite page (the title-page). [SUMMARY]: This special vastly illustrated limited edition of a fascinating documentary research on hundreds of eminent Jerusalemites at the end of British-mandate era is in very good condition.
