EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from December 1931, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion at the Jerusalem train station. The image captures the essence of unity and diplomacy as British Arabs warmly greet VIPs, including King Feisal of Iraq, who arrived to attend the World Islamic Conference. The scene is bustling with activity as dignitaries from both British and Arab backgrounds come together to welcome their esteemed guest. Amongst them stands Haj Amin el Husseini, the Mayor of Jerusalem, exuding authority and grace. Raghib al Nashashibi can also be spotted on the left side of the frame, adding an air of importance to this historic gathering. The presence of British Royal Fusiliers further emphasizes the significance of this event. Their smart uniforms stand in stark contrast against the backdrop of a bygone era's architectural marvel that is Jerusalem railroad station. This print from Liszt Collection not only freezes a specific moment in time but also serves as a visual testament to cultural exchange and international relations during an era defined by political shifts and global conferences. It offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us that even amidst differences, people can come together with open hearts for a common purpose.
