EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Proclamation of the Palestine Mandate in 1922 at Jerusalem. The image shows Sir Herbert Samuel, Lord Allenby, and Emir Abdullah gathered together as the King's commission is being read. This event marked a pivotal point in British Middle Eastern history, as it formalized Britain's control over Palestine.
The solemn expressions on the faces of those present reflect the gravity of this proclamation and its implications for the region. Sir Herbert Samuel, who served as High Commissioner for Palestine at that time, can be seen listening intently to the reading of the mandate.
Lord Allenby, known for his role in leading British forces during World War I and subsequently serving as High Commissioner of Egypt and Sudan, stands beside him with a look of contemplation. Emir Abdullah adds an element of cultural diversity to this gathering, representing Arab interests in this historic moment.
As we gaze upon this photograph from nearly a century ago, we are reminded of the complex political dynamics that have shaped modern-day Israel and Palestine. It serves as a poignant reminder of how events from our past continue to influence our present reality.
