Anti-Partition Map of Palestine. Actual
Anti-Partition Map of Palestine. Actually taken off a street wall. Dated Dec. 1947, issued by the anti-British "Stern Gang," underground fighters for freedom in Israel. This map followed the U.N. Resolution on partition of Palestine on Nov. 29, 1947. Dark blue on white, the Jewish national colors, 131/4 x 191/2, showing the division of the Holy Land among the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Captioned in Hebrew, "Lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are northward, southward, eastward and westward. For all the land which you see, I will give to you and your descendants forever" (Genesis 13:14-15). Place names in Hebrew. Highly impressive display piece. Fine and very rare.
