Approx. 100 souvenir postcards and printed board cards, aimed at pilgrims. The publisher's or printer's names are not indicated, [Palestine, early 20th century to 1920s].
The collection contains black-and-white and color postcards and cards, both lithographic and chromolithographic, of several series, printed on papers of varying thickness. These depict Christian sites throughout Palestine, as well as general views of cities and the countryside of Palestine. Some depict biblical scenes.
The postcards and cards were sold as souvenirs to tourists, and are therefore captioned in several languages (Russian, Greek, Ge'ez, French and English).
Most cards with blank verso. Several cards with postage stamps and postmarks on recto. Several duplicates.
Condition varies. Ownership stamps. Stains. Blemishes to some of the cards.
Provenance: The Rimon Family Collection.
