"Tel Aviv and Surroundings". Photo-illustrated booklets describing the city of Tel Aviv and its development, with a map of Tel Aviv by Architect Leo Sheinfeld, considered the first map of Tel Aviv after its separation from Jaffa. Tel Aviv: Ittin-Shoshani, 1924 (the maps are dated 1923/1924). Hebrew, Yiddish, German and English. In the early 1920s, the British authorities agreed to separate Tel Aviv from Jaffa and granted Tel Aviv autonomous municipal jurisdiction (township status). The bounderies of the municipal jurisdiction of Tel Aviv were finalized in 1923, after several neighborhoods, including Neve Tzedek, Ohel Moshe, Achva, Machane-Yehuda, and Machaneh-Yosef, were annexed to Tel Aviv. The present booklets feature two versions of a map drawn by architect Leo Sheinfeld upon the request of municipal engineer Yehuda Magidovitch, including all the neighborhoods, plots and streets of Tel Aviv after its separation from Jaffa. The maps (folding plates) differ slightly from each other in color, design and marking of several plots; one is dated 1923 and the other 1924 (the booklets also contain a short text on the history of the city and its commerce and pictures of important buildings). In 1968, architect Leo Sheinfeld presented a copy of the map to the "Beit Ha'ir" Meuseum (the old City Hall of Tel Aviv), where it was placed in Meir Dizengoff's office, behind his desk.
