This community was the only Sephardic community that enthusiastically embraced the culture of postcards and due to its involvement in the economic and commercial life of the city, was privileged of being widely represented in "general" postcards of the city.
Four of the postcards are undivided.
Approx. 14x9 cm. Good overall condition. A few blemishes and stains. Three of the postcards were used.

"LeShana Tovah Tikatevu" postcard, with a group photograph on the background of the Palestinian pavilion in the Great Industrial Exposition of Berlin, held in 1896. Vienna: Zion [early 20th century].?Portrayed in the photograph are Heinrich Loewe, Moshe David Șuv and others at the entrance to a building bearing the sign "Exposition of Sons of Israel in the Holy Land" (In Hebrew and German), with palm trees and a mosque. ?A Colonial Exhibition was held as part of the Great Industrial Exposition of Berlin in 1896, with grand displays replicating towns and villages in Africa, New Guinea and other places (for which purpose the organizers brought natives from these places, dressed them in traditional costumes and presented them to the public, in sets portraying indigenous life). The town of Cairo was "built" in one of the exhibition compounds where a Palestinian booth was erected (under the name "Exhibition of Sons of Israel Colonies in the Holy Land"). The pavilion offered for sale products from Palestine: "Carmel" wines, olive wood artefacts, books and booklets printed in Palestine, and more.?The person in charge of organizing the Palestinian pavilion was Moshe David Șuv (one of the leaders of founders of the colonies Rosh Pina, Yessod Hama'ala and Mishmar HaYarden).

Our exhibition, the Palestinian one, was arranged in Cairo, within one of the great mosques. When I sat in this exhibition I felt as if I was in an Arab town…Thousands visited the exhibition, Jews and non-Jews and almost all bought wine and other products" (Hebrew).?After being displayed in Berlin the exhibition was moved to Cologne and later to Hamburg.?14X9 cm.
