Palästina Wirtschaftsatlas [Economic Atlas of Palestine] edited by Davis Trietsch. "Second, expanded edition". Berlin: Orient, [1926]. German.

Thirty color-printed plates (four of them folding) comprising a variety of maps and charts providing much information about Palestine and its Jewish population: the historical borders of Palestine, concentration of population, population density and growth, employment, immigration, industry, import and export, and more. Complete copy (with list of plates), in the original portfolio.
Nine of the plates were also included in Trietsch's "Atlas of the Jewish World" (see next lot).

David (Davis) Trietsch (1870-1935), editor, writer and Zionist activist, born in Germany, member of the Zionist General Council and of the democratic faction in the World Zionist Organization (an oppositional faction in the Zionist Organization which introduced an alternative to Herzl's ideas). He was coeditor of the journals Ost und West and Palästina, authored the annual Palästina Handbuch and was one of the founders of the Jüdischer Verlag publishing house.
Trietsch dedicated a considerable part of his time to the question of Jewish settlement. In the 1890s, he conceived the idea of settling Jews in Cyprus, and subsequently promoted the settlement in Cyprus as an alternative to the 1903 Uganda Scheme (a proposal he vehemently opposed). Trietsch later supported the Jewish emigration to Palestine, and suggested planned commercial and industrial development of the country and the establishment of garden cities. This atlas was published as part of his efforts to promote the settlement in Palestine. Trietsch himself settled in Palestine in 1932.
