Early Leaf with Stamps of the Committees of the Settlements of the First Aliya and the Signatures of Their Representatives
Single handwritten leaf from a petition, apparently submitted to the officials of Baron Rothschild, signed by representatives of 10 settlements in Palestine. [Palestine, late 19th century or early 20th century]. French.
Single leaf, written on both sides. Written at the top of the leaf: "Veullez, Monsieur l'inspecteur general, soutenir notre suste demande" ["Please, the general inspector, support our just demand" in French]. Further in the leaf, appear the signatures of representatives of the committees of 10 settlements established during the first Aliya: Hadera, Zichron Ya'akov, Segera (Ilania), Yavniel, Mes'ha (Kfar Tavor), Melachamiya (Menachamiya), Rosh Pina, Mishmar HaYarden, Yesod HaMa'ala and Metula. Ink-stamps of all these settlements appear next to the signatures, with the exception of Mishmar HaYarden and Segera.
[1] leaf (written on both sides), 25.5 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains. Folding marks and creases. Tears to margins and along the folding marks (slightly affecting the writing), most reinforced with adhesive tape.
