City walls and vehicle convoy near Jerusalem, 1938
The Ottoman-era city walls of Jerusalem's Old City rise above a slope, with a convoy of vehicles passing along the road at its foot. In 1938 Palestine was under British Mandate administration and marked by the Arab Revolt against British rule and Jewish immigration; military and police convoys were a common sight on many roads during this period. Built in the 16th century under Suleiman the Magnificent, the walls enclose the Old City's four historic quarters. The footage was shot as part of newsreel coverage of the political situation in Palestine.
