Bauhaus in Tel Aviv: six small, professional black and white photographs of Tel Aviv 1930s-40s, part of a series of pictures taken by "approved military photographers" - in this case "Number 128" (and stamped as such, by Palphot, on the reverse, with the price of 10 Mils a piece). The photos include scenes of Dizengoff Circle, HaBima Theater, the boardwalk ('tayelet') with the old city of Jaffo in the background, a shot from above of another stretch of the beach-front, a white-building street (Arlozoroff?) leading to the sea front (with the Yarden Hotel in the foreground), and what appears to be Reading electrical station. Excellent condition.

Eretz-Israel / Palestine Aqir town urban development map, 1938: the survey, prepared by H. Ramberg in October 1938 for the firm "Gan Hadar Bet" on a scale of 1:2500 (and details on a scale of 1:625) on wax-coated fabric-paper, shows certain blocks and parcels of land for future development. Interestingly, Aqir was at that time an Arab town - originally an ancient Philistine town (until abandoned during the 1948 War of Independence afterwhich arose the Jewish town of Kiryat Ekron), but the survey is in English and in Hebrew - perhaps because the survey was prepared and stored in Tel Aviv. The Hebrew lettering is in the modern block font of that time. This is an original certified copy, dated and signed by the licensed surveyor in 1939. Clear in detail and in preserved condition, suitable for framing.

The plan was prepared by A. Levin and Ch. Ramberg Engineers, Certified Surveyors (and signed by Ramberg), in Tel Aviv though is stamped "Not for Registration Purposes". Crisp in design, with the large artistic block Hebrew font of the time, whose original inks still shine under the light. Suitable for framing.

Eretz-Israel / Palestine Esh Sheikh Muwannis urban development map, 1940: an interesting survey depicting a small section of land now part of Ramat Aviv - the area of today's Hayarkon Park, Derekh Namir road, Ibn Gvirol street and Sderot Rokach. The survey is in 1:1250 scale and highly detailed, in English and in Hebrew, and prepared by H. Ramberg for the "Hadar Yossef" Cooperative Society. The survey was originally prepared by Ramberg in July 1939, with the original copy certified by him in late July that same year; this copy dated from 1940 shows Ramberg's certification of corrections since made, and a stamp from the Mandatory Government's Surveyor ("Survey of Palestine") that the map is acceptible for registration purposes. In preserved condition and suitable for framing.

Scarce set of 2 colored urban development plans, 1943, for a block and parcels of land in an area between Ra'anana and Ghabat-El Ababisha, in the Samaria district (Ra'anana is a Jewish town while Ghabat-El Ababisha is one of many formerly Arab villages destroyed during the 1948 War of Independence; in its place now stand Kiryat Ganim, Kiryat Sharet and Kfar Batya). The plans, on a scale of 1:2500, are near-identical sets of partition schemes of parcels of land and the maps depict then-existing and new roads; both were prepared by H. Ramberg the surveyor for a promoter called E. Klimovski (who has written his name as "Klimowsky" on one of the copies, and signed his name that way on the other). The copy with Klimowsky's signature shows more pencilled in details of the planned building sites on the map, and these additions may date from November 1943. Both papers are in English only and stamped "Not for Registration Purposes". Both in excellent condition and suitable for framing.

Eretz Israeli Tel Aviv original development map, 1930: for a residential building of 689 square meters in the Tel Nordau area (around today's Bugrashov and Frishman streets). The diagram was prepared on 15 June 1930 on a scale of 1/250 for Dr's. Fabrikant and Segal (the landowner of the space seems to be Fabrikant), and is almost entirely in Hebrew for one single square building with an inside courtyard on the plot of land. Pencilled around the sketch are probably the adjoining landowners: Dr. Segal, Mintz, and Furia. A nice sketch from a well known location at early stage of Tel Aviv's development.

Eretz Israeli Tel Aviv original development map, 1930: for a commercial area of about 700 square meters in the southern district of the city. The diagram, prepared 10 April 1930 on a scale of 1/250 for an A. Guzman (the landowner of the commercial space), is mostly in Hebrew, with a few English words written in places, and appears to be for one single building on the plot of land. Of interest are actually the names of other land-owners written just above the sketch, on the fringes of the adjoining piece of land: Dankner (most probably the media and real-estate magnates of today), Lurie and Steinberg. A nice sketch of documenting development in old Tel Aviv.

Eretz-Israel / Palestine Esh Sheikh Muwannis urban development map, 1939: original copy of a survey depicting a thin strip of land now part of Ramat Aviv. This map is related to the one depicted in item 0070006, and the block of land here (# 6623) would be just south of the one described above - the area of today's Bnei Dan street, just below the Yarkon river, and continuing on to former "Es Sawalima" - an Arab village in whose place has been built today's Ramat Ha'Chayal. The survey is in 1:2500 scale and detailed, in English with a little Hebrew, and prepared by H. Ramberg for the "Hadar Yossef" Cooperative Society. In preserved condition and suitable for framing.
