EDITORS COMMENTS
JERUSALEM: SURRENDER, 1917. A significant moment captured in history as the mayor of Jerusalem, Hussein Bey al-Husayni, leads a group towards surrendering to the British Army on 9 December 1917. This powerful photograph by Lewis Larsson portrays a pivotal event during World War I that would shape the future of Palestine. In this image, Mayor Hussein Bey al-Husayni stands tall and proud, wearing his traditional fez and accompanied by other prominent figures. The group walks solemnly towards two British sergeants Hurcomb and Sedgewick who await their surrender. The white flag held high symbolizes their acceptance of defeat and marks the end of Ottoman rule over Jerusalem. This photograph captures not only a historical moment but also represents the beginning of a new era for Jerusalem under British mandate. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between different nations during times of war and how power can shift hands. The Granger Collection presents this remarkable print from its vast collection, offering viewers an opportunity to reflect upon this crucial turning point in history. As we gaze at this image, let us remember those who were present on that fateful day in December 1917 and acknowledge its lasting impact on both Palestinian and British history.
