Collection of photographs taken by Zoltán Kluger. Various places in Palestine, [1930s to 1950s].
Most of the photographs in the collection are aerial photographs, taken in the late 1930s to the early years of the State of Israel, documenting various settlements and cities (many of them still in their early stages of development, with just a few houses and unpaved roads). The photographed sites include: Nahalal, Ein HaHoresh, Kefar Vitkin, Kibbutz Amir, the Tiberias transit camp, the Yokneam transit camp, the seashore of Tel-Aviv, the Dizengoff Square in Tel-Aviv, and more.
The collection also includes portrait photographs (a girl picking oranges in an orchard, a Jew in traditional attire blowing the Shofar, and more), photographs of buildings and views and three photomontages.
Most of the photographs are stamped on verso with the photographer's stamps ("Orient Press Photo Co.") and some are captioned by hand. Several photographs are mounted on paper and captioned on printed notes.
Approx. 110 photographs. Size and condition vary (some of the photographs are especially large, approx. 40X30 cm.). Good overall condition.
